SafeGuard Enterprise Upgrade from 5.35.5 to 5.50

brian_slattery

We are in the process of doing this, and from what I am reading it appears to be fairly straight forward.

Would anyone please share their experience(s) with doing this upgrading in their organization?

Gotchas?  Trip ups?  Undocumented "features"?

    Not exactly what you're going through, but I went from v5.40 to v5.50 a few months back, and the server upgrade was pretty straightforward.  The only suggestion I would make is to clear out the EVENT table in the database before the upgrade if possible.  When you run the SQL script to upgrade, it will make some table changes, which will cause SGN v5.50 to "repair" the database, and if your EVENT table is large (like mine is), it will take a long time for the check and repair process to complete.

    The other piece of the puzzle is clients and client upgrades.  Depending on the modules you're using (specifically, CP), the client upgrade process can be frustrating.  If you are planning on upgrading your clients, check out this thread:

    Hope this helps.
