Things to consider before starting software upgrade:
- Partial migration
Starting from version 17.0.4, Teamwork Server supports multiple project versions. Different teams can work with the same Teamwork Server with different project versions, e.g. 17.0.5 and 18.1. So with Teamwork Server migration, only part of the projects could be migrated into the newest version. However within a project, the same version client application must be used.
Floating server allows connecting all older versions clients starting from version 16.9. - Downtime
Please dedicate at least one day downtime for products and data migration. - Custom artifacts (i.e. plugins, report templates) upgrade
After migration, custom artifacts could be incompatible. Please check compatibility in advance. Note: we can help to test compatibility, and also upgrade custom artifacts. - Recommended upgrade workflow
Upgrade: Teamwork Server, floating server license, client applications, plugins, required project on Teamwork Server. Before production environment migration we suggest to check Teamwork Server project upgrade and custom artifacts compatibility on test environment. - System requirements
Check that new hardware and software conforms to the system requirements.
