Upgrade Path from AC 5.5 to AC Gold R7?

Post by sweeperq » Thu May 08, 2014 12:29 pm

Curious what the upgrade path is for moving old AC 5.5 stores to AC Gold R7.

We had moved one AC 5.5 store to AC 7.0.4 and there was a data migration tool for that. But it relied on an old version of .Net and took hours to migrate the data. Curious if it has become any easier since the remaining stores are roughly 5x and 15x bigger (customers/orders) than the original store we ported.

We also have four AC 7.0.4 stores we'd like to migrate.

Hello,

It's the same as before, but if you run the data export tool on the sql server directly it shouldn't take hours. We've done really large stores and it never took that long. Be sure to clean up the db before doing the migration!
Thanks for your support
