Mario, This really depends on what you want to migrate..
Do you only want to upgrade your ARS Server version from 5.1.2 to ARS Server 7.1? Or do you have those OTB ITSM applications that need to be upgraded from their current versions to a newer one? Your upgrade has to be incremental going upward with every major delta version that was released. However before you upgrade from ARS Server version 6.3 to 7.0 you may need to upgrade the Oracle database to 10g after bringing down the ARS Server as ARS 7. So your upgrade path would be ARS 5.1.2 -> ARS 6.0 -> ARS 6.3 -> upgrade oracle after turning down Remedy -> ARS 7.0 -> ARS 7.1 Trying to skip a major release may result in corruption of your DB so be careful.. NOW if you have got ITSM apps installed that you need to upgrade to ITSM 7 - thats a different beast altogether.. thats more of a migration than just upgrade...

I'd like to know if anybody faced any situation that requeries more atention or effort. In addition, i need to decide the best migration mode. i personally prefer the UPDATE mode using ar system installer. We did that when we migrated 4.5 to 5.1.2 and it was OK. The problem now envolves the migration of the OS ( AIX 4.3 to 5.2 ). Next, the script we are planning to do 1 - Copy ar system filesystem from AIX 4.3 to an AIX 5.2 machine 2 - Start ARS 5.1.2 on this new machine ( Is this really works ? ) 3 - Run installer on UPDATE mode Scenario From > ARS 5.1.2 Patch 1389 AIX 4.3 , Oracle 9i To > ARS 7.1 AIX 5.2, Oracle 10 Thanks Mário Roberto Porto Filho Analista de Tecnologia da Informação Tecnologia Bancária S/A (11) 4196-7883 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
