Hi, We originally had a single server stage/test system and a two node server
group for production, running 7.6.03. In order to upgrade to 8.1.0, we have
built a whole new phyiscal and virtual environment on which we do a DB restore
from prod and upgrade to 8.1.0. In conjunction with that, we are running the
Delta Data Migration tool to keep things inline. We've been at this for some
months now but hopefully the end is now in sight, but we keep finding new
things that need fixing. Regards -Mike Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:38:10

We are upgrading the existing servers. The staging server sounds like more
work that it is worth in our situation this time around. Since this
environment is not fully in production with all processes (we still have IM,
PM, AM, KM left to implement here) we will be able to take a 2 day down time (I
actually have the process down to about 24 hours worth of work now but we need
some buffer). I don't expect we'll have the luxury in future upgrades.

** Same here. We actually finished our QA and about to start UAT on our
upgrade from version 8.0 to 8.1p002.
Found a few timezone related issues which we are working with BMC to
resolve.Our users are global with some areas of the application using site
local times.
For us timezone is very important, other than that we did not see any
stability issues so far.Our current production version 8.0 was also very
stable. It has been in production for more than an year.
We are on linux6.x and Oracle11. So far seems to be stable.On Friday, January

That is interesting. My understanding and from what I have seen 8.1 has been
very solid. We are upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1 next month so we'll find out
(although still only using SRM, WO and CM at this time).

** Kathy,Was there a reason you are electing to go to version 8.1? We have
found that 8.1 was not a very good release of Remedy for BMC. We have
encountered various defects that have caused stability issues with the
arserver.exe process. We also encountered issues with the mid-tier and the use
of a reverse proxy as well as iE 10 incompatibility. In contrast, 8.0 was much
more stable in our experience. If you still intend on 8.1, be sure you get the
latest patch applied and read everything there is to know about that release.

8.1
** Hi,
We are planning the upgrade from 7.6.4 to 8.1. Wondering what others have
experienced with a 7.6.4 to 8x upgrade. Our company feels this upgrade is
going to be “very difficult.” We have never archived any data. There were over
100 hotfixes applied to 7.6.4. Besides the release notes, is there any
documentation to help with this painful process J Are there any gotchas?
Recommendations?
