Version 12

[bobarc]

Anyone upgraded to r12? Maintenance gives it to us at no charge, but haven't decided when to upgrade.

Yes, and I strongly recommend you get a copy. Install it on a non-production system to get familiar with it since there are some major changes, and then do the upgrade to the production server.

How is the upgrade? Is a complete uninstall reinstall? Do scripts from 11.5 work in 12? Do you have to re create all the FSD and media pools?

 

[bobarc]

It went fine, upgraded everything in place (no prior uninstall by me needed). It uses the SQL as the database now and the conversion of all the data took a while. we had been using the internal arcserve database. It looks a bit different and I am still getting used to that.

How do you download the EXE? They seem to have the patches but not the actual installer suite?

 

[bobarc]

I had to call CA and they sent the DVD. It was free for us since we are under a maintence contract.

Anyone gone live with this? any issues or complaints?

so far so good. Its worth evaluating the product as it has many new features added to it
