It sounds like your best bet is to stand up the new 9.x environment and copy
the definitions and data:
1. Use the developers' studio to copy your definitions
2. Use rrrchive ( https://www.rrr.se/cgi/index?pg=chive ) to copy the data.
Rrrchive lets you update records from the source to target.
The first copy will take a long time, but each night's update will
happen quickly.
The rrrchive CFG file lets you control the Form Data copied.
You can also run rrrchive in multiple CMD windows to take advantage of
multiple ARS (fast) threads.
With proper planning, the go live cut-over can be completed in less
than an hour (your mileage may vary)
3. The APPLICATION should be frozen once you copy the definitions to new server.
If the freeze NEEDS to be violated, "Emergency updates" would need to
be applied to the new server as well.

No, we are not using overlays. Everything is in base development mode. Upgrade
would be on Windows system.
How about the data/tickets that are modified during the upgrade? How can we
copy that change to new prod?
Thanks!
