DATA CENTER
Upgrade Guide to 7.0 - Data Center Only
The planned release of Comala Document Management 7 is for Data Center Only.
This release includes a new, improved capability called Document Activity that replaces the existing Page Activity.
Versions of Comala Document Management v6.17+ for server and data center include the option to run pre-upgrade checks for the release.
The upgrade guide to Comala Document Management 7+ Data Center Only will be available on release on Comala Document Management 7 Q1 2023.
Pre-upgrade checks
Pre-upgrade checks do not require you to enable Read Only mode. These can be undertaken in both the data center and server app installs of Comala Document Management from v6.17+
The pre-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 pre-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 Q1 2023.
The following are available in Comala Document Management v6.17+ (data center and server) to allow pre-upgrade validation and planning prior to the release of Comala Document Management 7.0+
