Most databases have a way to monitor transactions they get hit with - try turning that on and see if its doing anything.. Joe

Not knowing anything about your hardware/OS/memory/DB Size ... Yes that seems excessive. If I remember our 5.1.2 to 6.3 was about 2 hours and our 6.3 to 7.1 this weekend was 2.5 hours (These were both pure custom ARS with no Remedy apps). This is on Sun hardware w/Oracle and about a 75G db.

We let it go over the weekend twice, upwards of 36 hours and it still isn't finished. That seems a bit over the top to me. Am I just impatient? Michael A.

Since you left out a version it may not work. If it did work previously time frame is difficult to know since all forms and workflow will be touched. -----Original Message----- From: McManus Michael A SSgt HQ 754 ELSG/DOMH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:56 am Subject: Anticipated timeframe for an AR Server Upgrade? Listers, We're upgrading our AR Server tonight from 5.1.2 to 7.0. A direct upgrade didn't appear to be working so I went with 5.1.2 to 6.3. I kicked it off about 6 hours ago and it still appears to be steadily chugging along at the "Upgrading the AR System Database" screen. I did this previously on a development environment, but kicked it off in the afternoon and came in the next morning so I'm not sure on the actual time this normally takes. I'm sure hardware and database size play a role, but can anyone give me a rough estimate for how long this normally takes? I'd like to sleep before my next birthday J Thanks much, Michael A.
