Planning Your Upgrade for Performance

Review the following guidelines to help plan for better upgrade performance:

  • Provide as much hardware, memory, and disk space as you can.

  • Run long processes on a dedicated server, not the client.

    Configure that server similarly to your production environment.

  • Use a dedicated workstation, configured like the production environment.

  • Provide an application server and process scheduler for the Target database on the new PeopleSoft release.

  • Know which tables are your largest.

    This information will be valuable during the upgrade.
