Windchill 7 to Windchill 9.1 upgrade paths

[dtkach1]

Just would like to find out if anybody did recently upgrade from WC7 to WC 9.1 and what was the path of upgrade from technical perspective. What kind of issues did you have, solutions, customizations upgrade...

i'm not sure whether you are still looking for answers for this.

7 to 9.1 is one step upgrade path.

But of course, if you want to make use of WinDU, you may need to do an extra step, if you are source is earlier MOR of 7M050.

7MOR to 9.1MOR

7MOR to 7M090 (windu supports M70 onwards, but M090 is latest one) and then upgrade to 9.1MOR

as you know, Upgrade is always dependent on the size & quality of data you have.

If you have CAD Data, you may end up in FT related issues while upgrading,

one more common issue with upgrademanager till 9.1M050 is that there are some migrators which run very slow, solution for them is skip them in UM and execute the OOTB utility for the same migrators as post upgrade step

and do you have any specific modules like MDT or Partslink??

Hi BoB,

First place is the MS log, look for the latest file under ${WT_HOME}/logs.
The load executes server side so you don't see the errors on the command
line

Best Regards,
Simon

I should have mentioned that I looked there - it is the same information
duplicated.

  I am now trying to figure out if I can turn on some verbose settings.

Any ideas on that?
