MDM5.5 Upgrade to MDM7.1 - Data Unique In Each Environment

[Former Member]

I have been reading the SAP documents concerning upgrading from MDM5.5 to MDM7.1.

We have 3 separate systems (dev, qa, prod). We have vendor data that is unique to each environment. For example, vendor 0080000123 might be ABC Inc in dev, DEF Inc. in QA, and XYZ Inc. in prod.

The SAP MDM7.1 Upgrade Guide (page 11) says to archive the production MDM5.5 system and unarchive it on a new dev MDM7.1 install. This would populate my dev/qa systems with production data. Then the ports would also be production values (versus those used in dev/qa today).

Is this the process everyone is using? I figured I would archive my dev repository, install MDM7.1, and then unarchive the dev repository and update it....same on qa server, same on prod server.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
