Software AG strongly recommends that you upgrade in a controlled test environment and test that environment for proper operation before upgrading your development or production environment.

Software AG tests migration across machines that have the same hardware and operating systems. Integration Server also tests migration across machines that have different hardware or different operating systems. However, for other products, migration across machines that have different hardware or operating systems might have unpredictable results, especially when one machine is Windows and the other is non-Windows.

This guide assumes you are using the same RDBMS in the new environment that you used in the old environment. If you want to use a different RDBMS in the new environment, there are special requirements that must be met before you can upgrade your products.
