E9.0 JDE Upgrade Question 9.0 to 9.2

[Paddy]

Hello Everyone,

We are planning a JDE version upgrade from 9.0 (Tools 9.1.3.1) to Latest 9.2 version and I believe we are on 9.0 Update 1. In order to do an upgrade what is the recommended path as I know we can do a direct upgrade from 9.0 to 9.2. Is there an option to go from JDE 90 Update 1 to Jde90 Update 2 and then go to 9.2 using the Simplified Upgrade process? Do we see any benefit following this path if at all it is possible?

This is never easy to answer as it has SO MANY variables. In general: Sure, everything is possible, but what do you want or what does your business need? Are you heavily modified with 24/7 production dependant on JDE? Are you just using one module of JDE besides three other system and it's only 10 users, so you can shut down for a full four working days? People and companies are spending weeks on Upgrade planning and they don't do it for the fun of it

Simplified Upgrade - the facts

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...

In my opinion, it is not worth trying to do a two-step upgrade just to be able to take the simplified upgrade path. Back in ~2015 when 9.2 was released the simplified upgrade made sense because it could reduce the amount of retrofit you would have to do on standard modified objects because the delta between the code bases (9.0 Update 2 and 9.2) was less. 8 years later with 9.2 Update 8, you can be almost certain that any standard object you modified in 9.0 would have since changed in 9.2 and therefore would be overwritten and require a retrofit. So a traditional upgrade won't necessarily result in more retrofit work than a simplified upgrade at this point, not to mention the additional effort to do a two-step process. Just my 2 cents! Good Luck with your project

Thanks, this makes sense.
