The first rule of upgrade club is that everyone talks about upgrade club.

The purpose of this thread is for anyone doing an upgrade this year to check in, state what version/platform they are on now, and to what version they plan to upgrade. Maybe we can find some useful common ground and exploit some synergies?

At Southampton it feels like we've been doing nothing but upgrades; a month or so after finishing our summer upgrade last year we started preparations for applying the cumulative update to allow the crocodoc to box transition. Now we are well into planning our upgrade this summer when we will do an in-place upgrade from 9.1 Q4 2016 CU6 to 9.1 Q4 2017 with the latest CU available. We are running a Linux (Redhat 6) platform with an Oracle 12 database.

I will be composing the occasional post on Matt's Upgrade Blog and I've just written an update about what we have learned following our most recent upgrade to 2016 Q4 CU6 regarding maintaining fixes that are undone by the installer. Why not start your own upgrade blog?

I hope that having an upgrade thread will continue to be useful. These threads do become quite long and perhaps overwhelming, if anyone has any suggestions for improvements please post them!

Do you have upgrade plans for this year?

Hey upgraders, in view of the above feedback (thanks to all) I started a shared google doc and put a few entries in.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rcm7oTFgEteSMrEaLphW_oeWE4_n3RW-rJuFVIeZsiI/edit?usp=sharing

Before I make a new upgrade club thread for 2019 I thought if anyone has time to add anything they think useful or change the formatting etc go ahead.

The shared doc would be linked to in the first page of the thread and would be a good place to add useful resources, links to useful posts etc.

Great, thanks Matthew. I've added a few items from the community site that have helped over the years.

Roll on the Upgrade Club 2019. Just trying to upgrade our test environment to Q42018CU3, and getting gradle errors, saying that there's deprecated items. Anyone successfully installed/upgraded to Q42018?

We've gotten an :install:legacy:writeConfigurationFile error and have been unable to overcome it when upgrading to Q42018 CU3 as well.

I've made a 2019 thread!

We have done two 2018 Q4 CU3 upgrade so far, both have had issues but were successful. I'll write a blog post about them soon.

Peter Langley: we had "Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0." errors in our upgrade log but this did not cause to fail. The 2018 Q4 installer for us on Linux uses Grade 4.9.

Tim Au-Yeung: we haven't had that issue, looking in the installer log I don't even see that line, the closest we had is:

> Task :install:legacy:installConfigurationFiles

[exec] Result: 1

> Task :install:legacy:databaseSetupTask

Sorry I can't help with those. Let's continue in the 2019 thread *** Upgrade Club 2019 ***
