Hi,

You should follow that guide step by step and the guide really explains step by step what to do.
If there is something specific not clear, please feel free to ask. But other than that it is hard to guide you through an upgrade on a forum.

Hi,

This is not so simple. the upgrade guide does not state anything about it. The guide only says to run the DB configurator in case you installed new products.
But you can run the DB configurator in a catalog mode and list installed DB versions. After that you run it in print mode to tell you the latest version of the scripts available. If there is a difference you might want to run it in migration mode to update your DB.

To make sure what to do, you can also contact support.

Hi All,

i have prepared the summary of upgrade wmSp2 over wmSp1 env document which is prepared on base of upgrade document,please find the attached in this post, please go through the step by step, i have some doubts

  1. is it must to Uninstall CentraSite
    If you are going to upgrade CentraSite, uninstall it. For instructions, see Software AG Installation Guide 8.0, with one exception: do not perform the steps to uninstall the shared components (Web Services Stack, System Management Hub, Tomcat Kit, and Java Development Kit 1.6).
    Important! Do not uninstall the shared components or you might experience problems. When you install products that use the shared components, such as ApplinX, EntireX,CentraSite, or Tamino XML Server, later in this chapter, the shared components will be upgraded automatically.
    Note: The uninstallation of CentraSite does not delete the Registry Repository files or, on Windows systems, the Windows registry entries that point to those files. When you install CentraSite 8.0 latest, the installer will detect the existing Registry Repository files and configure CentraSite 8.0 latest to use them.

please reply me prepared document is covering all the steps of upgration or any this missing.
