3.8.1P to 5.3 latest rev migrate question

Hi Doug,

If your 3.8.1 sites are different than your upgraded 5.3 sites, you need to do a couple of things before bringing 5.3 up live.  I’m assuming all your testing has been completed on the 5.3 sites.  If this is true, then you can use any available utility to compare your old site directories with the new site directories.  This could be done manually but I use a utility called UltraEdit-32 or ExamDiff Pro to do my directory compares.  Any changed file will be indentified.  Changes should be applied to the 5.3 tcl, xlate etc… to reflect the revision.   You may want to retest the 5.3 site, depending on your comfort level of going live with untested changes in 5.3.   I like to retest the site just to be sure.  For more extensive site revisions, you may want to promote the entire site again and retest.

The actual steps involved can be found in the Installation Guide that is included with your 5.3 Cloverleaf.  Usually it can be accessed through the Help selection on the Cloverleaf Integrator title bar menu.  Lots of good information if you have never promoted, tested and implemented an upgraded version.  There are many shortcuts to running a site promotion but if you are unfamiliar with the process, I would suggest following the steps listed in the Installation Guide under the “Site Promotion” chapter.
