DB changes - 9.0.0 to 9.0.1 upgrade

You will get a doc from mylawson regarding DB change once you have download link for 9.0.0 to 9.0.1 upgrade package. Our is from 8.1.0 to 9.0.1.

Go to the KB and search for "lawson enterprise applications release notes". You will see them listed on the Documentation tab by version/msp. They are not cumulative, but changes from one msp to the next. In the doc, search for "database changes".

My organization just went through a 9.0.0 to 9.0.1 Environment/Application upgrade and there is a gotcha on testing.

The changes to the 9.0.1 Applications are so extensive that you have to upgrade both data and programs together. Thus to test the 9.0.1 application with somewhat current production data we had to:
export 9.0.0 data from production
import 9.0.0 data into test 9.0.0 product line (say lsf900to901a)
promote product line lsf900to901a from 9.0.0 to 9.0.1
test

next cycle of testing
export 9.0.0 data from production
import 9.0.0 data into a different test 9.0.0 product line (say lsf900to901b) (can't use lsf900to901a becuase it is now 9.0.1)
promote product line lsf900to901b from 9.0.0 to 9.0.1

repeat as necessary.

The necessity to constantly create new product lines greatly increased the effort and time needed to complete the upgrade.

You have to create a new 9.0.0 product line for each data import and promotion cycle.
