Upgrade maximo from V5.x to V 7.6

The upgrade process in maximo changes from release to another the upgrade from V 5.x to V6.x deference  than from 6.x to 7 ...etc, in this post I will(ان شاء الله) Share my experience in this post later .



1- preparing V5 to upgrade
2- Upgrade from V6.x to V7.1.x
3- Upgrade From V7.1.x. to V7.5.x (here)
4- Upgrade From V7.5.x to V7.6.x

Upgrade from Maximo V7.1.1.5 to V 7.6

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
