Upgrade BO 5.1.2 on NT to BO 6.5 on Windows 2003

[srobshaw]

Hi group,

I wonder if anyone out there can help me or has any experience of doing this before.

I've been given the wonderful task in upgrading a Business Object system in BO 5.1.2 on Windows Nt to BO 6.5 on Windows 2003 server.

Now I have no expereince of doing this before but have come across a document which seems to suggest this the following is the process I would need to take. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not as it seems to have far more steps than I had anticipated.

* Start with BO 5.1.2 on NT Upgrade to BO 5.1.8. on NT
* Run BO 5.1.8 version then on windows 2000 Sp4
* Upgrade Bo 5.1.8 on Windows 2000 SP4 to BO 6.1.3 on
Windows 2000 SP4
* Upgrade Bo 6.1.3 on Windows 2000 SP4 to BO 6.5 on Windows 2000 SP4
* Run BO 6.5 on Windows 2003 server

Any comments and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Simon
