Editor's Notes
- Vendor recommends not having LF server app on same machine as SQL server LF 8 optimized for SQL 2005 (will run with SQL 2000 and SQL 2008) File server – recommend on SAN with RAID 5 Need to ensure the people responsible for all the parts of the system are included in communication about the upgrade and perhaps in the planning itself
- Downtime – if all goes well, could only be a day or over a weekend … biggest factor is migrating the data – 4GB took an hour … so can estimate from there – factor of hardware and network Clients – if turn on DCOM during LF8 install, vers 7.x clients can use it Weblink and Web Access versions 7 will run after migration as long as included DCOM in LF 8 installation RME gets upgraded with the server Snapshot gets upgraded with client (if had to rename repository, will have to re-run snapshot configuration) Audit Trail will get upgraded with server BUT data will not migrate -> can use vers 7 admin console to export the audit log before migration QuickFields 7 will run with 8, but so many advances in QF 8 – suggest even recreating QF sessions to take advantage of new features – rethink and redesign processes (can multi-task more, for example). There is a migration utility for QF that will migrate your vers 7 sessions … but it will set things up in vers 8 just as they were in vers 7, so may not run optimally using vers 8 features. Workflow – is not backwards compatible – will have to re-do all workflows in version 8 as well (but there’s a good reason in that it does things better)
- Field merging – can set to merge or never merge … if merge, it will ask about each merge it finds. Be prepared. If never merged, you can merge fields manually in Admin Console after upgrade
- SQL Server default settings determine where the log goes
- To move volumes (images), just move (copy recommended if possible) the VOL folders to new SAN location prior to start of this page UBS recommends moving volumes AFTER migration – so put in path for current volumes location to test that migration worked, then move volumes as last step
- run QRcmd locally on LF Server machine from DOS prompt (qrcmd ? will give params)
- ** can find something by its object id by sorting on that column – would be an early folder or document … In LF 8 can search by object id. In LF 7 – can do it? But need advanced search ??
