Upgrade Checklist
The upgrade guide for each product can be found in the relevant product folder, along with additional documents to aid with the upgrade and user guides.
This document should be used as a checklist of the steps required to fully complete this upgrade. We recommend that you print this list out and tick the Completed column when you have completed each task.
The purple column headers relate to the contract areas that you undertake. You only need to carry out the steps relevant to your contract areas. The steps are also split by role: technical steps should be undertaken by someone with technical knowledge, while the user steps should be undertaken by the system administrator of Maytas.
The table on page 2 should be followed by a technical user.
The table on page 3 should be followed by an administrative user.
The steps are also colour-coded by product. You only need to follow the steps for the products you use and the steps which apply to all products:
