Hi
I would like to know what steps we need to take during an EMSS and CBL upgrade?
We have a few customizations that we need to preserve.
Does Lawson take a backup of EMSS modified files when we do an upgrade as it does during a CTP installation.
Or do we have to manually take a backup of customizations?

What steps do you all follow before doing an upgrade of EMSS?

We documented / copied any customizations that we could, then installed the new version of EMSS and applied the changes.

Hi Lalit,

Lawson will not consider your customization. It will be overwritten. You will need to backup your old EMSS files which includes your customized files.

Unfortunately, you cannot just restore the old version into the new upgraded version. You will need to write the custom codes again into the new EMSS files, yes manually.

Depends on the upgrade, it may or may not be that complicated. I remember the upgrade from 8 to 9, some files with custom codes no longer exists and was consolidated into another file.

From 9015 to 9017, some functions and variables changed too.

Good luck,
Jude

Thanks we are moving from 9.0.1.3 to 9.0.1.5

I guess I have to do the following steps
1) List out all the customizations in xhrnet and xbnnet folders
2) Then take back up of xbnnet and xhrnet folders
3) Retrofit the customizations in the affected files
