Upgrade GP 9 to GP 2010

Posted on by dsoklepek 35

Hi,

I want to upgrade GP 9 to GP 2010. I would like to setup a test GP box, running Windows 2008 Server Standard and SQL Server 2008. I want to install GP 2010 and move my databases (from GP 9 - Windows 2003, SQL Server 2000) and restore them over my newly created companies. Is this possible? Can I do an 'upgrade' on a clean install?

Thanks

    This is possible. Be certain to verify that your build of GP9 is upgradeable to V2010. Example, GP9 SP2 is not upgradeable.

    Also - you don't want to create new GP2010 companies and then restore them with V9 databases. I would create the instance of SQL on the new box - then right click - choose 'restore' and let your SQL system create the database - you will then need to right click the properties of the restored V9 databases and then choose options and change compatibility to SQL2005 before you upgrade them.

    Let us know how this worked for you..............

    In addition to being mindful of the builds, you need to do more than simply restore the dbs. First of all, you need to get your hands on KB878449 and follow it to the letter. An important step listed there that I find many people do not follow is that your dbs should be restored on to the new server FIRST before the new version of GP is installed. What I see people do, which is not correct, is to install GP, create companies, and then restore the old companies over the newly created companies.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
