I am in the process of upgrading from 5.1.1 to 5.3 since 6.0 will not be
available until end of year. I must say it is not an upgrade at all but
rather a new install. There are conversion programs for your trading
partner files, for your archives, for your data manager files, for your
scripts, amongst some others, which will move your original data and make a
few changes in the scripts, but that's it. Plus, for my SAP connection I
had 2 specific data managers I had to use inbound and 2 outbound in 5.1.1;
now in 5.3, I must use 3 in each direction. Many of the programs I used in
5.1.1 do not even exist in 5.3. The conversion program is not smart enough
to make all the changes which would incorporate that change if I convert the
data managers...I must create them from scratch and then make the
modifications to them that I had done in 5.1.1.
None of this is all that hard, but good documentation of your current
version helps a lot. The most time-consuming part for me has been trying to
determine what to convert and what to create once I finally determined just
how little the conversion programs do for me.
I don't know anything about 6.0 but I imagine you will have to do the same
type of thing I am doing now...
