About migrating the application server

You can migrate to this release from any Central Designer 2.0 or 2.1 release by performing a new Central Designer 6.2 installation and connecting to the existing database. If the previous installation was using an Oracle 11g database, you must migrate it to Oracle Database 12.1.0.2.

Time considerations

Because the migration updates every study in the database, migrating from an earlier release could take some time, so plan the migration carefully. For example, Oracle expects that migrating a database with 150 studies could take 10 - 15 hours or longer.
