Hi Readers, Most of us when Migrating from one version to another will have a lot Questions in their Mind. How to Start with and what are the things to be considered While Migrating to the Newer Version, so in this Tutorial I am going to list down some of the Common Approaches to be followed while Migration.

Once You Download the Patch, for 11.2 there are two types of the Patch for DB Scripts available, one for ATG and another for CSC . Endeca Changes also comes as part of the ATG.

Separate the Scripts based on the CAT, CORE, PUB,AGENT ,

How you can identify the Scripts belong to which schema is?

Identify the Scripts in the Alter Table Execute in the Previous Schemas and Identify, and all the Scripts given in the Versioned Folder should be Separated and  executed only in the PUB Schema . There are no Official details about the table execution in the Schema.  

Do the View Mapping Changes for the BCC and CSC.

Step:4

Once you are done with the Scripts Migration execute the Above In the respective Schema. Replace the Env variables In the Machine and Eclipse. So that it is pointing to the 11.2 Jars.
