Tech Tip: TDM/TCO supported upgrade path is 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 then to 3.2.0

[Les Dover]

Due to database modifications, the supported upgrade path from 3.1.1 to 3.2.0 is 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 and then to 3.2.0.  Please follow this upgrade path.

 

Since the upgraded database configuration was in 3.1.2, if you did a new install then you could have at this point 2 upgrade paths - both are supported.  3.1.2 to 3.1.3 and then 3.2.0 OR 3.1.2 directly to 3.2.0

 

It goes without saying that the upgraded database configuration is also in a new install of 3.1.3.  As a result, the supported upgrade path is from 3.1.3 to 3.2.0

 

How will I know if I have not followed these recommendations?

 

In Oracle you will get the following error:

Can you point me to instructions on how to upgrade from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2? I need them for a customer today Jan 4, 2016.

Hi, Prashant. It looks like there is no difference in the actual process to upgrade between 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 and 3.1.2 to 3.2. So this 3.2 upgrade document can still be used as a guide.
