Upgrade from 8.9, 8.10, or 8.11

Before upgrading from 8.9, 8.10, or 8.11, you must consider the following:

You must first upgrade to Applications Release 9.1 and bring forward any custom objects. There is no upgrade path from 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 to 9.2 (Table Conversion Schedule and Control Table Merges are not available). Table Conversions must be completed in 9.1, as the Table Conversions for 9.1 to 9.2 upgrade will not work on tables in a previous layout. After this process the 9.1 to 9.2 upgrade converts the tables to the current format.

Note: Release 9.2, 64-bit Tools code (Release 22) cannot access 8.9 – 8.11 specifications. You must bring forward all custom objects during the 9.1 upgrade.

Follow these steps to upgrade from Applications Release 8.9, 8.10, or 8.11

  1. Install 9.1 GA CDs.

  2. Install the latest 32-bit Tools Release, which is currently 9.2.5.5.

  3. Install the latest 9.1 Planner Update.

  4. Install the Server Console and the Server Manager Agent.

  5. Install the latest Tools ASI 9.2.x. This step applies the Applications and DLL changes on the Deployment Server needed for compatibility with Tools Release 9.2.5.x.

  6. Follow the instructions in this guide for completing the upgrade.
  7. You can't switch the Deployment Server to 64-bit until you run the final spec merge on the last path code. After the Deployment Server has been switched to 64-bit, you cannot go back to 32-bit. You can do repeated data upgrades with a 64-bit Deployment Server

  8. You can now perform a Simplified Upgrade or a Traditional Upgrade to 9.2.

  9. Use One-Click to deploy IBM i Code Current or use 9.2 GA CDs if your platform is not supported for One-Click. Follow the instructions in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.2 Upgrade Guide to upgrade from Applications Release 9.1 to 9.2 for your platform or database.
