To upgrade from Build Forge version 3.8 to version 7.0 or later, you
must perform the tasks described in this topic.
- Run bfinstall.pl to upgrade
- Run the bfmigrate script to update your database.
- Complete post-upgrade tasks.
Important: If you are running Build Forge version
3.8 on MySQL, you must install MySQL 5.0 and migrate Build Forge data to MySQL
5.0 before running bfmigrate. (Migration to MySQL 5.0 must include setting
up a user for Build Forge to use to connect to the MySQL 5.0 instance.)
