You can upgrade your existing P6 EPPM database (version 6.2.1 or later including service packs) to the latest version of P6 EPPM. You must upgrade your P6 EPPM database so it will work with the new version. Use the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to upgrade your database automatically. The wizard runs the necessary scripts to upgrade the database structure and an upgrade program to add data required by the new version.
Note: These upgrade instructions apply only if you are upgrading from 6.2.1 or later. If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 6.2.1, you cannot directly upgrade to the latest version. For example, if you are on version 5.0, you will need to upgrade to 7.0 before you can upgrade to the latest version.
All risk data fields are migrated when upgrading; existing fields are mapped to new fields and others will be mapped to text fields.
Cautions:
- If you are a current Apache JackRabbit user and want to upgrade to the latest version of P6 EPPM, JackRabbit documents data will not migrate automatically. Refer to My Oracle Support's Knowledge Articles for information on manually migrating JackRabbit documents to Oracle Universal Content Management. Oracle recommends that you migrate the data before upgrading.
- If you are a current jBPM user and want to upgrade P6 EPPM, workflows and reviews data will not be available. You should close all workflows and reviews that are in progress before upgrading. You cannot migrate any of this data to the latest version of P6 EPPM.
