The following list summarizes the procedures required to upgrade from P6 EPPM R8 or later to P6 EPPM R8.4:
Back up your P6 EPPM database before beginning the upgrade process to ensure you will not lose any data due to unexpected problems.
Run the validate file located in your 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 Database folder of the P6 EPPM physical media or download. Ensure you run the 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3 validate file, not the 8.4 validate file.
Run the P6 EPPM Configuration Wizard to automatically upgrade your existing P6 EPPM database.
Test the new database to ensure that the upgrade succeeded.
