What are your recommendations on either or both? What are the pro's and con's to each? Here is what needs to be accomplished:
Current platform - 8.11 8.96.2.1/SQL 2005/WebSphere 6.0/VS .NET 2003/Windows 2003
Future platform - 8.11 8.98.2.0/SQL 2008/WebSphere 6.1/VS 2008/Windows 2008
Our environment is slightly different then out of the box. We have roughly 15 environments. The biggest issue is we will have two of our production environments (different regions) on 8.96 for an extended period of time. (let's say 8 months after 8.98 go-live in a different production environment)
So my question is what are some of the best practices or industry standards that others have used when doing a tools release upgrade?
As always $$$$ do matter but hardware resources are readily available for parallel systems to do product packaging if that is the preferred method. (we are in the process of lease replacing all old hardware)
If you need additional information please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
