Valid IMPAX upgrade paths
(Topic number: 6607)
Sites can upgrade to IMPAX 6.5.3 from any of these versions of IMPAX (supported versions include
any applicable SUs):
• IMPAX 5.2.5—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 5.2
• IMPAX 5.3.1 and 5.3.2—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 5.3
• IMPAX 6.2.1—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 6.2
• IMPAX 6.3.1—hereafter referred to as IMPAX 6.3
• IMPAX 6.4
• IMPAX 6.5, 6.5.1, and 6.5.2
For more detailed information, refer to the IMPAX 5.x–6.x Service Update and Hot Fix Migration
Paths spreadsheet in the Additional documents section of the IMPAX Knowledge Base > Main
Knowledge Base Page.
A site running IMPAX 4.5 can migrate its user data—passwords, IDs, and most preferences—to
IMPAX 6.5.3. However, database data cannot be upgraded directly from IMPAX 4.5 to IMPAX 6.5.3.
The IMPAX 4.5 database data and schema must first be upgraded to IMPAX 5.2, then to IMPAX 6.5.3.
(This can be done during one upgrade, rather than in two separate upgrades.)
Important!
We recommend checking the migration log file after each leg of an upgrade before moving
on to the next leg.
For AS300 (Windows) upgrades, also consider the following:
• Since all IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300 servers and Application Servers must be installed on Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1, all upgrades to IMPAX 6.5.3 require forklift upgrades to new or restaged
hardware. All AS300 servers and Application Servers in a cluster must use the same operating
system. For details on installing Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, refer to the IMPAX 6.5.3 AS300
Installation and Configuration Guide.
• For IMPAX AS300 upgrades, if you are currently on SQL Server 2000 or later, and you want
to continue using SQL Server, you must do a forklift upgrade onto new or restaged hardware
installed with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. For details on installing SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, refer
to Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 (refer to page 42).
• To migrate an IMPAX AS300 cluster from SQL Server to Oracle, contact Agfa Professional
Services for assistance. This migration process is not documented in this guide.
For Oracle upgrades, the following considerations apply:
