Migration to Version 7

Post by asvictor »

Hi,

We will be migrating from version 6.0.1 to 7. IS there any precaution to be taken? or It is enough that we export the Project and after upgrating, just import the Project?

What are the new features available in verison 7?

In addition to the new features discussion Vladimir points out...

While it would be prudent to export your projects before upgrading (or at least make sure you've got a good backup of everything - better yet, do both!), there's no need to import after the upgrade, unless you are moving servers in the process.

In that case you aren't technically 'upgrading' but doing a clean install on a new host and afterwards you will need to import your projects. Otherwise, the upgrade will handle making whatever changes are needed in the project by the new version automagically.

Ascential covered the migration path very well at Ascential World 2003 -- When I have time, I will type up a summary of the migration path.
