Hi
We are looking to upgrade from 7.5.2 EE to 8.7. Is this possible or should we go to 8.5 first and then to 8.7. Is it safe to go to 8.7 as it's pretty new ?
It seems we have to have AIX 6.1/7.1 to be on 8.7 but we are at 5.3 and the issue is DS EE 7.5.2 does not work on AIX 6.1. Is installing in new servers are the only option ?
Thanks
Upgrade question ?

You should be able to migrate directly to 8.7, if you can work out the OS version. Version 8.7 was built on top of 8.5 fix pack 1, so it should be fairly stable.
We're on 8.5 now and migrating to 8.7. Note that if you're on 8.5, then installing 8.7 is not an in-place upgrade. It requires a migration. So, you might as well migrate once instead of twice.
Check out the migration guide that comes with 8.7 (also on the IBM site).
I would also suggest you contact the IBM Concierge Program for some guidance:

Thanks for your reply. I got answer for 1 question that I can go directly to 8.7 from 7.5.2.
Is upgrading AIX to 6.1 and installing DS 8.7 on that is the only way ?
I am looking for options in this regard. We would like to upgrade the OS version to 6.1 and then do the upgrade of DS. Considering the fact that DS 7.5.2 is not compatible with 6.1, would there be an issue ?
Appreciate your time.
Thanks

I am planning on migrating from 7.5.1a to 8.7. There is a requirement for 8.7 that states you have to be at AIX 6.1. - So yes, you have to go to v6.1 first before you can install v8.7.
DS 8.5 is supported under AIX v5.3, but like the posts say, there is not an inplace upgrade to get to v8.7. You have to do a complete install and migration to get to 8.5, upgrade the O/S then you have to do another complete install and migration to get to 8.7. If you can go straight to AIX 6.1 and Infosphere 8.7 you will save yourself a headache.
