How long does it take to upgrade from CLM 6.0.2 to 6.0.5?
I know the answer will vary from company to company, but I'm looking for a ballpark answer here -- days, weeks, etc. We're being told that it will take two weeks, with our engineers completely unable to use the tools during that time. That seems excessive to me. I'm not sure how any company could afford to use the tools if that was the typical case every time you upgrade versions.
Accepted answer
It is also worth mentioning that it is not always necessary to upgrade all at once.
JTS can usually be upgraded before the other applications. In the past it was possible to upgrade the applications later.
Most customers I am aware of upgrade over a weekend. If the database is huge it might take more time - I agree it would be best to do a test migration - we always suggest this.
2 weeks does not sound right. I know that migrating between database vendors can take a long time due to repotools export/import performance, but this is usually not the scenario customers perform.

As you said, the duration depends on the CLM environment, namely the amount of data stored in the databases.
