Thanks Jim

I understand your approach now...I thought originally you just took a 2.5
and put SP5 on it!!!

Thanks
James

Subject: [development-axapta] Axapta Upgrade


Hi James.  Interesting is definitely the word for Axapta upgrades.  The
service pack brings in new SYP, GLP, DIP layers.  I do the code upgrade
to the current release and service pack.  I then open the old 2.5
database with the new application which starts the whole data upgrade.
There are separate "ReleaseUpdateDB..." classes for moving the data from
2.5 to 3.0 and then from 3.0 to the current SP. 

So far, I haven't had any major problems.  According to Microsoft,
Axapta service packs are cumulative so if a service pack becomes a
required stopping point on the way to another release, then it shouldn't
be a service pack, it should be a new release like 3.5.  I definitely
put up a fuss when Microsoft creates more problems for upgrades.
Upgrades take enough time as is and it hard to bill clients for extra
work caused by Axapta's developers (we end up eating the time).  With
all that said, I have a great time working with Axapta.  I'm looking
forward to seeing 4.0.

Supposedly the install doc says need to upgrade 2.5 to 3.0 BUT then do
not
start Axapta...rather just apply SP5.
So basically each version is a milestone I would say

Interesting as it sounds like you say you have not taken this approach
but
gone directly to the service pack...I am just wondering does that not
mean
your SYS layer is actually a 2.5 version?  In theory the SP should only
bring in a SYP layer....

Interesting....
Thanks
James
