in this post I will illustrate the Upgrade process , in this scenario I have A VM witch have Oracle database 10G Engine ,WAS and finally maximo SMP Folder
1.0 First get some statistics from the system
1.1 the System version
SMP/Maximo/application/maximo/version.bat
==> its will be maximo 7.1.1.5
1.2 count the important objects like workorder,pr and Prlines ...etc
select count(*) from WORKORDE
select count(*) from PM
select count(*) from PR
select count(*) from PRline
select count(*) from Po
select count(*) from Poline
select count(*) from sr
select count(*) from JOBPLAN
select count(*) from JOBTASK
2.0 Secend Phase Preparing for upgrade
2.1- enable Remote desktop and turn off firewall
2.2- make sure the Maximo is working fine
3.0 third phase upgrade to maximo 7.5
3.1- remove WAS 6.1.19 and related http server
3.2- install WAS 7.x
3.3- install 7.5 BS (the installation will be upon the previews BS )
3.4- its better to use
taskRunner.bat CONTINUE STOPONERROR
3.5- install fix pack 7.5.0.5
3.6- after installation completed run updatedb
this step take a huge time depend on your server specification it takes with me more than 30 hours.
3.7 - install fix pack 7.5.0.6.
4.0 Fourth phase install maximo 7.6
in the same VM
4.1- Remove WAS 7.x which installed in step 3.2
4.2- install WAS 8.x by the new IBM Installer manger.
4.3- update the DB URL.
4.4 Deploy the Ear .
