When you upgrade to 9.0 applications, do you already have to have the 9.0 applications separately installed Or do the 8.1 to 9.0 Upgrade programs do that for you Trying to clarify... the 8.1 to 9.0 Upgrade manuals say that you need to have the 9.0 applications already installed prior to doing the upgrade, but I'm gathering that the upgrade process also upgrades the 8.1 programs to 9.0. If that's so, why would you also need the 9.0 applications already installed TIA, -R

My company will be upgrading from version 7 to 9, which is a significant upgrade, and there is some concern about unanticipated and/or serious issues to be encountered during and after the upgrade. The concerns are mainly from a user standpoint. We are curious as to what other users have experienced - good or bad - after upgrading. We are interested in finding out how others have dealt with these issues.

We are in the process of upgrading our applications from 8.0.3 to 9.0.&160; With all of the database changes we have learned that all of our current batch jobs will not be brought over.&160; We were planning on just reentering them manually but since you can't have two jobs on the same environment named the same we can't recreate them exactly.&160; Does anyone know if there is perhaps a way to export the batch jobs out of 8.0.3 and import them to 9.0 (at least the jobs where there isn't a new...
