About upgrading the application server
Use these instructions to upgrade to this release from Central Designer 6.2.x. To upgrade from a release prior to 6.2, you must first migrate that installation to Central Designer 6.2.x, and then upgrade to Central Designer 6.2.1.1.
When you upgrade, you must:
- Choose whether to update the existing database or create a new database.
Caution: Unless you choose the update option, your existing database will be deleted.
- Provide the database and user parameters that you entered when you created the new database and database user.
Time considerations
Because the upgrade updates every study in the database, upgrading from an earlier release could take some time, so plan the upgrade carefully. For example, Oracle expects that upgrading a database with 150 studies could take 10 - 15 hours or longer.
