Simplified Upgrade - the facts

[altquark]

A lot of customers seem to still be confused with the term "simplified upgrade".

Heres a couple of facts :

1. "simplified upgrade" is only going to be an option if you are a 9.0.2 or 9.1 customer upgrading to 9.2
2. A "simplified upgrade" is anything but. If you are a customer with EXTENSIVE modifications to standard JDE objects, and are a LARGE customer, then the "simplified upgrade" process might save you some time in retrofit phase with a lot of extra technical CNC work ahead of the upgrade process. However, if you are a TYPICAL (or vanilla) customer, you'll be wanting to do a "Traditional Upgrade". Per Oracle - less than 5% of 9.0.2 or 9.1 customers are valid for the "simplified upgrade" process.
3. If you are on B7333 (Xe), B7334 (8.0), 8.12, 9.0 - then you are going to do a "Traditional Upgrade" to 9.2
4. If you are on 8.9, 8.10 or 8.11 - then you will need to perform a "Traditional Upgrade" to 9.1 and then a "Traditional Upgrade" to 9.2

Want to reduce the time of the specification merges in your upgrade ? Purchase Boomerang from Everest Software (email me to get details on this). That way, you can perform a fresh installation of 9.2, and then perform a "Data-Only upgrade" after you use Boomerang to migrate your objects across. For each hop, Boomerang saves about 40-50 hours of Technical CNC time and ensures that your upgrade is clean. For a double-hop upgrade, using Boomerang is a no-brainer. This is about as "simple" as an upgrade can be.

I'm sure others will chime in on this. I'm working on my 4th Upgrade to 9.2, and every single time I get asked about the "simplified upgrade" process. I really wish they hadn't named it that, but instead called it the "convoluted upgrade" process.....!

Old thread, i know - but i wonder if that ever changed. We have one (out of many) customers where i might use this. All the others are not and will never be qualified for this process

I've still never done one, but I soft of remember hearing the simplified upgrade process was going to change with 64 bit and mostly rely on db copy scripts (at least I think I remember hearing that.)

Last time I checked, the manifest was for the 9.2 GA release. So the manifest does not consider new objects that are modified by updates. What this means is that there might be bit more of retrofit involved than the simplified upgrade analysis that is being performed.
But the customer that I worked with still found that simplified upgrade offered considerable savings in retrofit effort vs traditional.
