3.0.1.1 to 3.0.1.2


Charles Mazza (122) | asked Feb 27 '12, 4:30 p.m.
Hi All,

We have one server with v3.0.1 that we are using until I can get a brand new box with a strong backend db set up for the user. When I started building the box, 3.0.1.1 was the latest available version.. Now that 3.0.1.2. is out, I am looking into upgrading the box. When I go through Passport Advantage login for Installation Manager and use the Update function, it recognizes that 3.0.1.2 is the latest version. However I cannot update in place as it is saying that the I have to have a brand new install and then use some tools to move my data from 3.0.1.1. Wow.. this is just a minor patch and all this work to upgrade a patch?? Has anyone done this patchjump? Is there a lot of benefit to all this effort?

Even when I was looknig at 3.0.1 to 3.0.1.1, it said that it needed to be a brand new install.. Why can't the upgrades be designed so that admins don't have to create new instances of the tools and migrate data?

Thanks

Yes, I agree.. I had posted a similar post before and the reply I received was that as the DB didn't need to migrate, there was no need to worry about uninstalling and reinstalling the new version.. but yikes! takes a lot longer to do that than simply upgrading!!! when will they get out of the uninstall and reinstall mentality?
