I am in the process of coordinating a multi-site upgrade from DOORS 7.1 to 8.3. Are there any "gotcha's" that I should be aware of when making this transition?
If you have any suggestions or lessons learned going for v7 to v8 can you share? |

No gotcha's, except you need to have new licensing installed for v8.2 v8.3 to work. IIRC, the new licensing works with the old versions, so you should upgrade licensing before attempting to migrate the data. You need to coordinate client installs with the upgrade.
We ended up hosting 2 databases concurrently. Before the upgrade the empty v8.1 database had a single module in it telling folks to continue using v7.1. After the upgrade, the v7.1 database had a similar single module in it advising folks to start using v8.1. We uninstalled v7.1 from folks who had logged into the v8.1 databse. After a while, we removed the v7.1 database. All of this reduced what happened during the big migration week-end, which actually went quickly and easily. - Louie |

We migrated from 7.1 to 8.2 and encountered the following issues (some are specific to our installation and may not affect you). As far as I know all of these are applicable to 8.3, but obviously, you may have additional issues. I strongly agree with Louie's suggestion to create a parallel 8.3 database to ensure that everything is working correctly. Let me know if you require more details on any items.
Ken. Upgrade license server to 1.3 and install new license file provided by Telelogic. Did not get the dialog requiring confirmation of migration of the database to V8 format. When copying the data folder from 7.1 to 8.2, I forgot to stop the 8.2 DB server as well as the 7.1 DB server. User login error message "Unable to create file in directory c:\program files\telelogic\doors_8.2\temp\LD_0a04572". You need to set Write acces to the folder c:\program files\telelogic\doors_8.2\temp as per description of Telelogic Defect ID 24452 in http://download-eu.telelogic.c...senotes/8_3_Fixes.htm Users could not see link arrows. You need to ensure that users have a minimum of Read access to the link module folder in addition to the link modules. In 7.1 we made the folder in visible to users but this is not possible in DOORS 8. WEXP error. You need to make a minor modification to wexpinit.inc (See https://forum.telelogic.com/customer/doors/messageview.cfm?catid=17&threadid=4818) Edited: 24-Apr-2008 at 17:08 by Ken McNair |

Ken, We are also upgrading from 7.1 to 8.3 and I am not getting the dialog to confirm migration to v8. How did you solve this problem? Thanks, Sharon
