Requirements

To prepare for upgrading to version 10, and then to get to a working version of the most current release, these are the requirements:

• Version 10 must be installed or configured.
• All pre-upgrade databases (application, forms, objects, and templates) must be merged into an all-in-one (AIO) database.
• Your current version must be a SQL version of SyteLine or Infor SyteLine.
• In your current version, make sure these tasks are completed before the upgrade:
  • Ensure that all journals are posted and all financials are closed.
  • Work with an Infor representative or business partner to ensure that all user accounts are cleaned up:
    • Email addresses cannot be shared between multiple user accounts.
    • Partial (truncated) email account names in the User Name field must be corrected.
    • Any unused or deactivated accounts must be removed.
    • The remaining user accounts must match your licensing entitlements.
• Databases must be compatible with SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1.
• Databases are partitioned for use as a multi-site/single instance.
• You must run the Database Validation and Prep Tool after upgrading, before you run the Single Version Installer (SVI). See the Database Validation and Prep Tool User Guide for instructions on how to use this tool.
• If you are using APS and have alternatives defined on the APS Sites and Alternative Management form, save any data and then delete the alternatives prior to the upgrade. After you are finished upgrading, you can then add them back if you wish.
• All APS services must be stopped and removed.
• We recommend that you set the database's recovery model to Simple prior to upgrading. This model reduces the time required to complete the upgrade due to reduced transaction log growth and associated disk i/o. If you use a model other than Simple, you must restore the pre-upgrade recovery model after the upgrade.
• Understand that the upgrade process removes all existing outbound replication data and its variants from the ReplicatedRows3 table.
