When performing a major upgrade to System Five, there are steps you need to take and reports that should be run and reviewed before you do the MAJOR update of System Five. These checks/reports help you to ensure that your data is clean and free of integrity issues.
- Note: A major upgrade is defined as any update that includes a change to your System Five version. Eg: Going from Version 5.35 to 5.42 and 5.42 to 6.2.2.x
The list of steps/reports that should be performed is listed below.
Customers must make sure to run the two routines prior to doing a backup copy of their Live Data set in preparation for the training upgrade schedule. In this way, it is assumed that the copy is healthy data.
