Requirements to Manually Upgrade from Version 8 or Later
The following list summarizes requirements to upgrade from P6 EPPM R8.0 or later:
- Back up your P6 EPPM database before beginning the upgrade process to ensure you will not lose any data due to unexpected problems. You should back up your database before you perform any of the steps in this document since the upgrade is not reversible. If you are unsure how to back up your database, do not proceed with the upgrade. Contact your database administrator or database vendor for assistance with backing up your database before performing the database upgrade.
- Manually run all scripts required to upgrade your existing P6 EPPM database.
- Test the new database to ensure that the upgrade succeeded.
