Hi
Based on previous replies - I now got the migration plan ready (I think)
....so
just to get any final feedback...
Plan:
1) Create a test eviroment that contains 2 machines: a SQL server (32 bit)
and a Web Frontend (32 bit)
2) Copy the 2 CRM DataBases from the SQL production (32 bit) to the test
SQL
enviroment (32 bit)
3) Copy the CRM 3.0 Web frontend from the production (32 bit) to the test
WEB Frontend (32 bit)
4) Install CRM 4.0 32 bit on top of the CRM 3.0 32 bit - that way wf,
entities etc. gets upgraded and everything are stored in the Database.
5) View the upgrade log... to see if anything gone wrong or needs to be
fixed.
6) Assuming there's thing to be fixed I'll fix them here...
Then when everytings seems to be running smothly I continue with;
7) Format the test Web frontend (32 bit) and make it x64 bit - then
install
CRM 4.0 x64 and during the install, then point to the upgraded DB that are
running on the test SQL server (32 bit) (nothing needs to be fixed on the
x64 bit frontend)
Then when everytings seems to be running smothly I continue with;
8) Move the upgraded DB back on the Production SQL server (32 bit)
9) Install the CRM 4.0 x64 on a new production Web frontend (x64 bit)
are the above method the way to do it ?
