Requirements to Upgrade Versions 6.2.1 through 7.0
Automatic Database Upgrade Considerations and Prerequisites > Database Upgrade Considerations For Version 6.2.1 or Later
The following list summarizes the procedures required to upgrade from P6 EPPM version 7.0 or earlier (including service packs):
- Back up your P6 EPPM database before beginning the upgrade process to ensure you will not lose any data due to unexpected problems. See Data Not Migrated During P6 EPPM Database Upgrade for details on what information will not upgrade.
Run the validate file located in your current Database folder of the P6 EPPM physical media or download.
- If you're upgrading from version 7.0 or earlier, convert your Methodology Management data to projects before you upgrade P6 EPPM. See Converting Methodologies to Projects and Creating a Project Template From Projects for manual migration instructions.
- Run the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to automatically upgrade your existing P6 EPPM database.
- Test the new database to ensure that the upgrade succeeded.
