Hi Guys,
I am a relative newcomer to the Progress environment and have been given a task which I find quite frightening!
My task is to upgrade from V8.3 to V9.1.
My problem is I don't even know where to start.
These are the things I am unsure about and I would love it if somebody out there with some experience with an upgrade could maybe help out with a plan.
Couple of associated questions....
1) How to convert the DB. Do I need to take a copy of the V8 database and convert that to V9 somehow?
2) Is there any functionality in V8 that isn't compatible with V9? i.e. will my V8 GUI app still run against the V9 database once it's recompiled? I know you experienced guys will eat this up, but I have only been using Progress for 6 months, and don't know much about DBA stuff.
All help greatly appreciated.
TIA
Rhonda
