The following feature will be available in Comala Document Management v6.17+ (data center and server) to allow upgrade validation and planning prior to the release of Comala Document Management 7.0+
Upgrade Guide to 7.0 - Data Center Only
Pre-upgrade checks
Upgrade checks do not require you to enable Read Only mode.
The upgrade checks allow you to
validate that you will be able to upgrade
estimate how long it will take to undertake the upgrade so that these can be planned as part of your maintenance periods
identify upgrade errors for specific pages in each space and produce a support package to review the validation checks
Both the upgrade checks and the upgrade can be executed on a space-by-space basis to minimize the impact on your end users.
Further Instructions for the upgrade will be provided when Comala Document Management 7.0 is released Q4 2022 - Q3 2023.
