We suggest an upgrade path. Getting your existing scheduling data ready for conversion can require some manual effort. For that reason, we think that it is a good idea to try out this process in a test environment before you actually promote the release to production.
Note: This process merely supplements the guidance that is offered in the following chapters. Do not regard this topic as a substitute for that guidance.
To upgrade using this path, you perform the following tasks:
This process is unpacked in greater detail in the topics that follow.

Step 4: Deploy the product to a test system—discussed in Starting Your Product
Test the product on the test system using scheduling data generated by install
Step 5: Configure the product for initial testing—discussed in Starting Your Product
Step 6: Start the product for initial testing—discussed in Starting Your Product

Step 7: Convert production data for use on test system—discussed in Database Conversion
Step 8: Start the product on test system using converted production data
Promote to production
Step 9: Deploy the product to the production system
Step 10: Configure the product for the production system
Step 11: Convert your production data
Step 12: Start the product in production
