Symptoms


I am planning to copy k2 database lower version to newer version 4.6.11. Please let me know the steps/procedure.
 

Diagnoses


Customer has a new SQL server and is also planning to upgrade K2 to 4.6.11.
 

Resolution

1. First have the Database Administrator migrate the K2 database from the old server to the new server.
2. Download the K2 Blackpearl update/installer files from this link: http://portal.k2.com/downloads/bp/
3. Run each of the four installers in this order (BlackPearl>Smartforms>Smartforms Control Pack> Sharepoint). During the installation of Blackpearl and for Smartforms, you will be asked for your license key and for the location of the new SQL server.

Here is some documentation on the topic titled "Installing and Upgrading K2 after Database or Server Relocation". Note that it gives guidance based on the Scenario you select: http://help.k2.com/kb001356

Here are the "How To" scenarios it asks you to choose from:
Scenario _1: New K2 Server installation with existing database (same version of K2)
Scenario _2: New K2 Server installation with existing database (newer version of K2)
Scenario _3: New K2 Server installation with moved database
Scenario _4: Existing (in-place) K2 server configuration with moved database
Scenario _5: Existing (in-place) K2 server upgrade with existing database
Scenario _6: Existing (in-place) K2 server upgrade with moved database
