Thanks Christian for the response. Good to hear that upgrade is possible from 1.6.1 to 1.7.4 RB version, apart from the database backup do we need to take care of any thing else which will disturb our production setup and in case of any issue we should be able to go back to our original state, if you point us action item it would be really great.
Few queries though 1. How does upgrade takes place, does it replace files by files ( I mean python scripts etc ) apart from db. 2. The Release note of 1.7.2 its been mentioned about below >>>>> However, this requires that p4python is specially compiled with OpenSSL support, and that the system has development headers for OpenSSL 1.0.1. P4PythonInstaller doesn’t do this, so users who need this feature will currently have to compile p4python manually, providing the path to the SSL directory using --ssl >>>>> Do we have any tech note for the above steps which end user needs to perform.

There is a bug that some people hit a while back in older versions that introduced some stale upgrade data in the database. I meant to get a final fix out in 1.7.4, but it slipped. If your 'rb-site upgrade' complains about fields that already exist or something, e-mail and I'll give you the solution. Otherwise, you shouldn't have any problems.
