Upgrade from 11.1.2 to 11.1.7

[cognostechie]

We are going to do an upgrade to the latest release of 11 and since it has been quite a while since I did upgrade so I am wondering if the process is still the same or some additions/changes.

Do we still install, configure , export and import or any additional steps?

Thanks !

Hi,
In all honesty the best place to start is to read through the Ibm recommended upgrade instructions and certainly ensure you look at the preserved file details.

test on a dev environment if you can first and take the usual backups and exports.

I used the same method and it worked fine. New Content Store used for new install of new version, export and import. Copy the image files, database drivers and IIS settings.
