Collegues, Alpha crew members,
We have purchased the new V7 product range but find it very hard to collect information on upgrade issues.
There is no special forum for upgrade issues from V6 to V7 like there was for V4 to V5 for instance and searching the forum Web Application Server v7 in which this thread was started does not show any info on how to upgrade as well. Here are the questions I would like to have some answers to:
1- In a situation where you have multiple databases in version V6 which now serve pages to WAS V6, can you just upgrade the WAS V6 to V7 and keep serving pages from WAS V6 (is there backwards comptability) ?
2- Can you serve pages from V6 databases AND V7 databases to the WAS V7 in one live setup ? Or do you need a WAS v6 and a WAS v7 running (probably not...) ?
I think I have searced everywhere I should before posting such a thread, and as a result of that opinion want to friendly offer the suggestion that Alpha should be more clear on upgrading issue information, for instance in providing an "Upgrade Document" where information can be found on how to accomplish the upgrade.
In a professional situation "Trial and Error" is not the most wanted way to see how it needs to be done, some information on forehand would be quite at place.
Is there really no information on upgrading, or did I miss the info and did not search where I should have been ?
Kind regards,
Marcel
