  • [QUOTE=pogi]Guru,

    How about 11.2 to 11.5 or 11.2 to 11.6? We have projects that we cannot open in the 11.5 because we are using 11.2 before.

    Can you give some advise or it needs now an upgrade?

    Plssssplssssplsssssplsssss

    By coincidence I found a very easy way to upgrade projects from 11.2/11.3 to 11.5/11.6.
    Just delete the virgin databases in the old project, and set project variables for 11.5/11.6 to point to the project.
    When you enter admin module for the first time you will get an error message, but there you just write the command SYSTEMUPGRADE in the command line window, and the upgrade is finished.

    Take a backup of the project before you do this, because there is no way back once you've done it.

    Did you open/save the make.bat file with Notepad?
    At least I have had the experience that Notepad messes up the bat files when I edit them. They are many times saved in Unix format, and Notepad do not understand the line breaks when it should save the file.
