Updates an existing installation while preserving user data
Instance name remains the same
Automated process

Install new instance of SQL Server
Database objects are copied between instances
Can be same server (named instance) or different server
Mostly Manual process

Clustering
Log Shipping
Replication

2000 – 2005 2000 - 2008 Analysis Services Different architecture and designer Different architecture and designer Reporting Services No significant Issues Issues with custom IIS/ SSRS settings Data Transformation Services (DTS) Runs natively Runs natively Integration Services (SSIS) DTS to SSIS Everything has changed Everything has changed

Analyzes
Configuration and objects within installed components
Trace files (captured using Profiler/SQL Trace)
T-SQL scripts (any script file)
Generates Detailed Issue Report:
Before – potential showstoppers, must resolve before upgrading
After – should be resolved after completing upgrade
Anytime
Advisory – notices and/or warnings

Analyzes SQL Server 2000/2005 database, trace files and script files
Read-only operation, can be CPU intensive
Supports remote execution
Supports default and named instance
Requires .NET framework 2.0 sp1 or later
Download latest version from web!

UA does not detect everything:
Dynamic SQL
Meta-data driven applications (both during application setup and regular use)
Changes in system objects (stored procedures, functions, tables, etc…) but uses the same name
UA does not have rules for all known issues
or any “yet to be known” issues

Developed in conjunction with Scalability Experts
Available for upgrades to SQL Server2005 and SQL Server 2008

Capture realistic workload from test/production
Establish a baseline in ACT environment:
Restore SQL Server 2000/2005 database environment
Replay captured trace and record baseline data
Determine functional and performance measures of same application on SQL Server 2008 32-bit
Upgrade database to SQL Server 2008
Replay captured trace and record functional and performance data
Repeat for x64 if required or just test against x64
