Re: Upgrading and switching platforms at the same time

[Rick Parry]

** Hello Dwayne,   I've made this same type of move just this month. I agree with James do the database first then do the Remedy upgrade. I moved from a Windows Platform to a SuSE Linux platform for both database and Remedy.   Take care,   Rick >>> "McKenzie, James J C-E LCMC HQISEC/L3"             <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/30/2006 7:42 AM >>> Dwayne: Go: 1.  Install Oracle 9i on your new machine.  Import database.  Upgrade to 10g.  This will insure that the database's metadata is upgraded to the new version.

We are also upgrading from Oracle 9 to Oracle 10.  We have a mostly-customized ARS system, but have installed the Asset Tracking module. Two approaches: 1. Install Oracle on the new machine.  Install ARS on the new machine.  Export all the form and workflow definitions and form data from the old system and import it into the new. 2.Copy the present Oracle database from the old machine to the new.  Rename the database and upgrade it.  Install ARS. The second approach sounds easier.  Any pitfalls that we should be aware of?
