GP Upgrade from 2015 to 2018 test environment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 75

We are trying to upgrade from 2015 to 2018 but want to test the upgrade first.  Can I update my TEST GP database that is on the same server?  Can I install GP2018 and connect to a play database that is on the same server as the production?  Can someone help me what is the best way to test this upgrade?

    You are going to need a test server with another instance of SQL.  You cannot test just one company as the first database to be upgraded is the DYNAMICS database.
