One can upgrade from 7604 SP2 to 8.1 directly. I believe the intent was here to communicate to apply the latest Patches released on 8.1 (Patches here infer to cumulative hotfixes on top of 8.1). Some of the features that went into 7604 SP5 may not be available in 8.1 (SP5 was released later than 8.1 RTM). However yes they would be available in 8.1 SP1 (Not yet GA'ed) Regards, Ravi From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Pierson, Shawn Sent: 05 November 2013 00:06 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: 8.1 upgrade ** Who needs documentation when you have wikis that can be updated behind the scenes by conflicting groups of BMC staff with no communications to the customers?

After digging into it, 7.6.04 P5 contains the same upgrades in parallel with 8.1 P1. So we can upgrade from 7.6.04 P5 to 8.1 P1.

We are on 7.6.04 sp2. Is it best practice to go ahead and install the patches to sp5 (I believe) before the upgrade? Or just upgrade? _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ Private and confidential as detailed here<http://www.energytransfer.com/mail_disclaimer.aspx>.
