Has anyone upgraded from 7.6.1 to 7.6.5? I see that it can be applied as a service pack. Did you need to do any migration procedures or make any DB changes?

Scott,

If you will do a Search on the Forum there have been several discussions on this. Search on 7.6.5. Read thru and see if you get some ideas...if not come back and ask.

Scott,
As a quick pointer (I have not had the time to view other discussions).
We were successful in upgrading the WF761 server to WF765 with no obvious issues.
However, the client with Report Caster, was cause for much challenges. I would strongly recommend installing the WebFOCUS Client from scratch.
Trust you have success.

Prarie,

This is precisely what I did. I couldn't find anything specific to going from 7.6.1 to 7.6.5 regarding having to do migration steps or not so I posted here.

Thanks,
Scott

I just upgraded fron 762 to 765 using the service pack approach and I had no problems other than my web-xml files not getting updated. But apparantly that had something to do with file and directory permissions on Unix.

i learned a very handy unix command
to clear up the permissions on an entire directory , to avoid just such , um, challenges.
chmod -R 777 subdirname
the -R stands for 'recursive' but means 'change the rights in all the files in this specified subdir...make them all rwxrwxrwx...
755 is often enough

Thanks, Susannah. I am familiar with that command. However I can't give 755 permissions to the software directories because my developers have ids on the box and oh what havoc they would wreak if they had a mind to. Wink

I think it has to do with the owner and the next time I have to upgrade, I will check out the permissions before I start.
