Hi, We are on AR System 7.0.01 Patch 006, CMDB 2.0.1, ITSM 7.0.3 Patch 006 and SLM 7.0.1 Patch 4. We were unable to consider upgrading until now, and of course this is going to be a major effort from what I can see. We have some customizations, but I think I could rebuild them from scratch if I had to. We are in a Windows/SQL server setup and are running a server group. We want to upgrade everything to 8.0
Here is a high-level upgrade path that Support recommended. A) Upgrade ITSM 7.0.3 patch 6 to ITSM 7.0.3 patch 9. B) Run ARserver 7.6.04 patch 4 in upgrade mode. C) Run the difference report to find the customization. D) Create Overlay to retain customization. E) Then upgrade CMDB 7.6.04 patch 4 F) Then upgrade ITSM 7.6.04 patch 4. G) Once everything is working fine upgrade ARS, CMDB and ITSM to 8.0 Do you all agree with this upgrade path? Would you recommend another approach? Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Many of you have listed lots of gotchas, so I am semi-planning for those pitfalls.
