What are the steps involved in upgrading 6.5 to XI R2.
Read ALL the vendor documents.
Cleanup your current system if possible.
Make sure you understand how the security works - there are a number of additional presentations around that describe inheritance. You can compare the 2 scenario’s from the excel docs in the download linek above.
How to take a backup of source BO and where to archieve it.
Take a database backup of your Repository and the file directory on the web server that hosts your content.
Do I need to need take backup of DEV or PROD version.
Yes
Do I need to install XI R2 in the same machine where 6.5 is running.
Preferably not - but you can.
How to import Security from 6.5 to XI R2.
The Import Wizard Tool - make sure you understand how this works and also check the BOBJ download sections for any additional tools etc that can help you.
Make sure you locate and use the secViewer tool !!!
Thank you so much… Now I got an idea but still in confusion from where to start.
Could you please let me know what is the sequence of importing from 6.5 to XI R2, whether do I need to import Users/ Folders first, next importing universes, next reports (DeskI & WebI), last security
or is there any other sequence.
