Performing a forklift
upgrade of an AS300
SQL Database Server to
IMPAX 6.5.3
When replacing the existing Database Server with a new one, you install all external and IMPAX 6.5.3
software in advance, during the preparing to upgrade period, saving you considerable time during
the upgrade weekend.
For more details, refer to the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 4.5, 5.2, 5.3, or WEB1000
to IMPAX 6.5.3.
Staging the new IMPAX 6.5.3 Database Server
(Topic number: 147160)
1.
Before proceeding with the forklift upgrade, if not already done, stage a new IMPAX 6.5.3 Database
Server (in a single-host, dedicated Database Server, or all-in-one configuration, as applicable).
Important!
Give the new Database Server the same host name as the existing production Database
Server. (This also applies to any other servers in the IMPAX cluster.) Network drive letters
also should remain the same for the SQL database, caches, HSM archive, and so on.
The following is a high-level overview.
