Upgrading from RH7 to RH8 - Correct upgrade process

[Guest]

Hi,

I have had RH8 for a while, but still worked with my project in RH7. The two versions are installed on two different computers.

I am now about to upgrade my project to RH8, and I have seen all the discussions about people having problems with upgrading to RH8. I have installed the patch 8.0.2. With this patch, will I encounter problems upgrading my project? Are there any precautions I should take (apart from a backup)?

I did try to search the forums, and I know there is a lot of information about the problems that occurred if you upgraded a project before installing patch 8.0.2. But I couldn't find any relevant topics describing how to updgrade a project after installing patch 8.0.2.

Regards,

Each project is unique so it is impossible to say you will not hit problems. All I can say is note what is in my Using RH8 article, act on anything relevant, back up as you said and then open the project in RH8.

I understand that. But the "folder bug" will not appear when I upgrade the project *after* installing the 8.0.2 patch?

The purpose of that patch was to stop the folder bug problem and it has worked so far.

Thx for the reassurance I'll give it a try. My project should be quite straight-forward, nothing fancy.
