I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.1 and Datecode with CPS M030 on Sun Solaris platform We want to upgrade to a latest Windchill version which will be compatible on RHEL 8x or RHEL 9x.
Need suggestions on what can be the viable / possible Upgrade options for this Windchill application.
From 10.1 your highest target would be 11.0 M030. Then you would need to do a second upgrade from 11.0 M030 to 12.1.2. From there you would do a third from 12.1.2 to 13.0.2
Keep in mind each of these versions have different OS compatibilities so you will you need multiple interim systems.
After healing source with mandatory WINDUS ,you install the latest version on what ever OS , then you import BD and LDAP dumps from source , run the upgrade manager and test .
I guess we have to follow upgrade path, for e.g. Upgrade directly from a Windchill 10.x to a Windchill 12.x or 13.x is not possible, we might have to do hop or intermediate upgrades. I was looking for a similar solution like that.

You are right. From 10.1 the highest target would be 11.0 M030. Then a second upgrade from 11.0 M030 to 12.1.2 looks fine.
But the issue is our customer only has the latest and second latest RHEL supported in their images - RHEL 8x and 9x. For the intermediate upgrade to 11.0 M030 it supports only RHEL 6x and 7x. That's the main challenge on doing this intermediate upgrade. any alternatives for this ?
Does anyone know if PSI will care if RHEL 8x is used to install 11.0? Its possible it would not care. You are not going to be on it and running for long. before you do the next movement.
