Upgrade from 7.3 to 7.9

[former_member221487]

Guys,

I have to upgrade a 32 bit 7.3 instance on 2003 to 64 bit 7.9 (for Content Server usage) - there is no 7.4 MaxDB that I can see on sapnet. Can anyone suggest an upgrade strategy? Does anyone have any experience of such a huge jump?

Hi Neil,

As DB is at 7.3 you need to first upgrade it to 7.6 atleast and then upgrade to 7.9.

Follow information in SAP note below to plan the upgrade

962019 - System Copy of SAP MaxDB Content Server Database

thanks Deepak!! - do I take it from that note then that we won't be able to carry out a backup / restore of the 7.3 DB - will we have to use the re-location of documents approach?

Could we get round the relocation of documents by upgrading the Content Server 6.3 on the Source System to 6.4, before carrying out the homogeneous system copy?
