Document comparing the benefits to upgrading from version to version

I'm looking for a document that describes the benefits gained for upgrading from one version to the next. We're currently on version 6.0sp1 and I'm interested in getting us on the current version; but need to be able to easily explain what the benefits are.
I have seen quite a few threads talking about getting upgraded to 10gR3; is that the most recent version of the former AquaLogic portal? Is there a newer version that exists in the new 11g release? Or is that one of the many other portal products offered from Oracle?
If any of you have recieved or created a document describing the differences between versions, I'd really appreciate it if you could share the information.
Thank you,
Tom

Blog entry from Brian Harrison, the product manager of WCI:
"Should I Upgrade to WCI 10gR3":
http://blogs.oracle.com/WCI
Surprisingly, this is not an easy question to answer. If you are currently running a version of ALUI 6.5, then there is truly not a great reason for upgrading, because there were not a lot of changes made between ALUI 6.5 MP1 and WCI 10gR3. In fact, we essentially think of WCI 10gR3 as ALUI 6.5 MP2. Here is a list of the primary changes that were made to create WCI 10gR3:
• New Adaptive Layouts for iPhone
• New Experience Rule for IP addresses
• Oracle Branding
• Removal of license key requirements
• A few bug fixes across different areas of the products
If one or more of the above items are important, then there may be a good reason to upgrade to WCI 10gR3. However, if the above items are not important, then maybe it isn’t important for you to upgrade quite yet.
On the other hand, if you are currently running a version of ALUI 6.x prior to 6.5, then there are a lot of great reasons for upgrading because there were a lot of new features added between 6.x and WCI 10gR3. The new UI engine called Adaptive Layouts is definitely a very significant improvement as well as the availability of the new Friendly URLs feature. In almost every instance, I would recommend that a ALUI 6.0 or 6.1 customer upgrade to WCI 10gR3.

  • Can I Upgrade from version 5 to the latest?

    Can I upgrade from version 5 ..... want to install on new 64bit machine but have lost CD ..... what are the options.

    There is never an upgrade "patch" to change an old version to a new version.  Each version of PSE is an independent, full program installation.
    Your options are:
    Find the best price you can for a "full" version of PSE10 and purchase and install that.
    Wait a while until the new PSE11 is released and purchase and install that.

  • What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

    Hi
    What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server)  to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
    Regards
    Gaurav

    I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
    One of the ways you can do this is:
    1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
    2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
    3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
    4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
    5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

  • How do you fix 'unable to upgrade from version 0'?

    I have been working on 6 ibooks over the past year, documenting a lot of stuff for user manuals for our school. The ibooks were all created in iBA version 1.0, but are not published - we only use them internally so we just use the previews.
    I gave up trying to upgrade my 1.0 iBooks, it takes too long to 'optimize' the files when I try to open them in 2.0. I have read all the issues with iBA 2.0, but decided to download 2.0 on another computer and wabt to try to re-write all my old 1.0 manuals (I have all the files that went into them).
    However, when I double-click to open the 2.0, nothing happens. So I go to 'File' and select 'New from Template Chooser'. I then get the window with all the new templates, including the portrait ones. When I select any template, say the 5th one for example, I get the prompt "The document 'Textbook 05.ibatemplate' could not be upgraded. Unable to upgrade from version 0". This happens for every template. I don't understand. I downloaded the 2.0 from the app store onto a 'clean' computer. Yes, it has Lion on it and all the spec requirements to run iBA. Can anyone help me with what to do next?

  • Issues during technical upgrade from  version 4.6C to ECC 6.0

    Dear All,
    We have done a technical upgrade from version 4.6C to ECC 6.0 and encountered following issues -
    In the t-code ABZE (acquisition with in house production) there is a check-box for reversal posting on screen with version 4.6C. However, this field is missing in ECC 6.0. Why so?
    In the report s_alr_87012327, there is a field "only with creation block" in version 4.6C. However, this field is missing in ECC 6.0. Why so?
    Request to kindly suggest the alternative to carry out the same in ECC 6.0.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Dhawal

    Hi Akshya,
    Please find answers below.
    1) 4.6c is NON-UNICODE system, Can I upgrade it into ECC 6.0 UNICODE system?
    Yes you can.
    If you are on a single code page system then you can give a gap between your uprade and unicode conversion. There is no problem with the singlecode upgrade and conversion.
    But if your system is MDMP then you will have to do the CUUC method that is both upgrade and unicode conversion together. Though you can give a gap and sign an disclaimer with SAP it is still not recomended way.
    2) 4.6c does not have any ITS system installed. If we upgrade it to ECC6.0 ABAP only, then Can I activate WAS internal ITS?
    Yes you can activate it.
    3) 4.6c does not have any JAVA stack. When I upgrade it to ECC 6.0, can I upgrade it to dual stack (ABAP+JAVA)? If yes, then how?
    After the upgrade and unicode conversion you can install the java stack.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

  • SAP AFS Upgrade from version 5.0 to 6.4

    Hi Experts,
    I wanted to know if someone here was familiar with the SAP AFS upgrade from 5.0 to 6.4. I wanted to know how exactly they improved the  areas listed below. (obtained from SAP Course). Your help would be greatly appreciated
    http://www.sap.com/services/education/catalog/globaltabbedcourse.epx?context=%5b%5b|wdedaf||1||de|%5d%5d|
    1) Improvements in the areas of planned independent requirements, seasonal concept, value add services, Combined order, productionu2013 warehouse interface
    2) Production Planning Basic Data - Enhancements of AFS Bill of Material (AFS BOM), SKU Group Based Routing
    3) Manufacturing Execution u2013 Collective Planned Order Conversion, Combined Order Confirmations
    4) Batch Determination/Classification for SAP Apparel and Footwear
    5) Handling Unit Management for AFS
    Thanks,

    Hi Ronny,
    Thanks for the reply!
    These patches you speak of, is it for the types of issues I mentioned in my first post or do they cover the entire AFS functionality? I assume it still requires complex configurations but are there a lot of complications with going from AFS 5.0 to 6.4, compared to a new AFS 6.4 implementation? Specifically with the grids, categories and BOMs?
    /Cheers

  • What are the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion?

    I'm looking for the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion

    You cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion anymore. Mavericks is now the current version. Got to Apple's website to see what the features of Mavericks are, then decide if upgrading is something you should do.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • Can I upgrade from version 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 in order to access mobileme?

    Can I upgrade from version Tiger 10.4.11 to  Leopard 10.5.8 in order to access mobileme?, If so, how would I accomplish this action? I have already created a web site using iweb which came with my I-Mac (3 or 4 years old), and noe need to publish it on mobileme.

    If you machine meets the minimum for Snow Leopard (10.6.x) then it would be easier to buy that. If the machine is capable I'd recommend upgrading to Snow Leopard. It's going to be difficult  and more expensive to get Leopard. Here are the minimum spec's for Snow Leopard:
    General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMeservice; fees and terms apply.

    Hello KarmaThaPilot,
    I located an article that may help you with the issue you're experiencing. Take a look under that heading titled "Using the Repair Privileges Utility."

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2963
    For Mac OS X 10.2 or later, open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/). Select your Mac OS X startup volume in the column on the left of the Disk Utility window, then click the First Aid tab. Click the Repair Disk Permissions button.
    Before performing maintenance such as repairing disk permissions, it's always best to perform a backup of critical files.
