Just thought i'd start up a thread on your thoughts on upgrading to v4.7?

 

For me, it means a new server buiild, as i'm currently on Server 2008 which isn't supported by v4.7

 

How has your upgrade gone?

Any bugs or issues with your existing forms not working etc?

What has performance been like since upgrading?

 

Anyone had issues migrating projects from v4.6.11 to v4.7?

What is the best improvement for you since upgrading to v4.7?

 

Is there anything you miss from the older versions?

 

Thanks

Good day Sharpharp1,


 


Please see the below compatibility matrix of older versions to 4.7 version:

LOL, this is a blast from the past... Think i need to start one for K2 Five LOL

 

Speaking of K2 Five, what is the official advice for this scenario.

 

Currently K2 V4.7 and OS Windows Server 2012 R2 and if i wanted to upgrade both K2 and Server OS, which is the recommended method out of the below?

 

A) Upgrade K2 v4.7 --> K2 Five, then upgrade to Windows Server 2016

B) Upgrade to Windows Server 2016, then upgrade from k2 v4.7 to K2 Five

 

Thoughts, comments?

In an in-place Server upgrade worth doing from Windows 2012 to 2016 or best to do side-by-side with a fresh install and migrate over the forms?

 

If doing a side-by-side, is there a proper migration tool for migrating over all the current server settings etc? For the forms i can you the import/export tool, but the settings take ages to setup.... trust me i've done this before (v4.6.11 to v4.7) and it was a major headache for months

 

Thoughts, suggestions please.


Hello,


 


Regarding on upgrade path from 4.7 to K2 Five, its whatever you feel most comfortable doing since both OS are supported http://help.k2.com/k2compatibilitysupportmatrix which you can check in the updated support matrix.


 


If you were to do a fresh install of K2 Five, you would not have access to the legacy tools and workflows.
