Planning your upgrade schedule
Upgrading involves planning, preparing, executing multiple activities and tasks, and troubleshooting. Planning enough time for all necessary activities helps ease the process.
Following are the various phases of upgrade process:
- Determine when you can upgrade
- Planning the upgrade
- Performing pre-upgrade tasks
- Upgrading in a test environment
- Troubleshooting your test upgrade
- Upgrading your production environment
You can also schedule sufficient time to train administrators and users to use Maximo® Application Suite and Maximo Manage with Maximo IT. Team members need to understand the capabilities of the new software to participate in the upgrade planning process.
