I'm reading the release notes and I'm not seeing anything indicating
this.  There are items in the release notes that state it is not
possible to upgrade your non-unicode db to a unicode db, but not from
unicode to unicode.

The What's Hot article states the following:

"Due to an inconsistency in the way ARS meta data was stored in
previous non-Unicode compliant versions of ARS (including ARS 6.3) you
currently cannot upgrade to an ARS 7.0 server running on a Unicode
database. Even if you are running an older version of ARS on a Unicode
database, you can only migrate (not upgrade) your applications to a
7.0 server running Unicode.
If you are running an older version of ARS on a non-Unicode database,
you can upgrade that server to 7.0 (non-Unicode).

If the desired end result is to be running ARS 7.0 on Unicode, you
must do a new install of ARS 7.0 on your Unicode DB, then migrate your
forms, workflow and data from your old server to the new server.

An upgrade utility will be available in the next maintenance release
of the ARServer that will resolve this issue when upgrading to ARS 7.0
Unicode. Currently the only way to migrate is to use the BMC Migrator
tool."

So where is the upgrade utility?

Subject: ARServer 7.0.1 Upgrade Installer

Has anyone run the ARS 7.0.1 upgrade installer against 6.0.1 on Solaris 9
using a UTF8 database?  The installer (arupora) crashed (segmentation fault)
during the installation.  Looking for someone in the same environment so I
can compare notes.

Thanks,
Axton Grams
