Hello All,
I was just tasked with upgrading a Micros 3700 4.1 HF3 to 5.7. I have never worked on any DBs older than 4.9.
I found the following step, but I'm not sure if these are accurate nor do I have access to the older software mentioned.

1. What version is the current server on? If the old server is on 4.0 to 4.2 you will need to run the RES V4.3 Hotfix 1 Prerequisite Patch (Software) and RES V4.6 Prerequisite before running RES V4.10 Cumulative; if on 4.3hf1 to 4.5, you will need to run RES V4.6 Prerequisite before running RES V4.10 Cumulative; if 4.6 or above you will only need to run 4.10**
**NOTES** You don’t have to take the Database to 4.10. This is only a suggestion. It must be on 4.9mr5 or you can run the Preconvert script. See the RMF 5.0 install guide for pre 5.0 instructions.
Steps to Pre Convert RES 4.x Databases
1. Copy the 4xPreConvertTo5x.mcs to your 4.3 HF 1 or higher
Server.
2. Have the 4.x DB to be converted running.
3. Open database manager with a user that has rights to do a
database rebuild.
4. In database manager go to the Rebuild\Update tab.
5. Click the folder icon under Apply Scripts and browse to
PreConvertRes4xTo50.mcs.
6. Select PreConvertRes4xTo50.mcs and click Apply Script.
 In a few seconds database manager will show
‘Successfully applied Micros Compressed Script to
Database’.
7. Click the ‘Backup Database’ tab.
8. Enable ‘Backup Database’ and click Run.
9. Rename the Database\Data\Backup\Archive\4x.MBZ file just


Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you
 
Hi,

We could successfully upgrade 4.10 system to 5.7 without any issue. Just take your system to 4.10 and directly run 5.7 pre-req and media.
