Hello all,

I am planning an upgrade from 98.2 to 99.1. Furthermore, I am planning to move the metadata and depots to a new location on the server (they are currently in a users home directory, I would like to create a new user called "perforce" and move them into the new directory.

Here is my planned strategy:

STEP Action

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------- 1 Create the Perforce account as a user. 2 Install the version 99.1 in new location and set it up to run on a temporary port. 3 Start the 99.1 version of the server. 4 Test connection to the server. 5 Stop the 99.1 version of the server. 6 Shut the 98.2 version of the p4d server down. 7 Copy over the depot subdirectory and medadata from its current location to the new 99.1 location. 8 Configure the 99.1 version to run on the same port as 98.2 did. 9 Start the 99.1 version of the server.

Is there anything I am missing or any issues I should be aware of before I proceed?

Cheers,

Allen R. Jerjiss
