Write a Migration Plan
Produce a project plan which documents:
• Migration strategy—Which method is most appropriate for your
site.
• Fallback—What to do in case the migration fails. The plan you
evolve will be site-specific, but some general issues are discussed
in Chapter 7, “Test: Ensuring Stability and Performance”.
• Application test suite—What validation and performance testing
to perform for acceptance. See Chapter 7, “Test: Ensuring
Stability and Performance” for guidance.
• Bridging—Ways to minimize the impact to users during the
migration. Refer to the business requirements you gathered in
Chapter 3, “Analyze: Documenting Your Environment”.
• Environment—Additional resources and changes to the
environment needed based on the information you gathered in
Chapter 3, “Analyze: Documenting Your Environment”.
• Scheduling—How much time the migration will take based on
the level of complexity and business needs. Refer to the business
Environment Be sure to account for any increased release 11.x memory requirements that
apply to your configuration. For more information, see:
• The installation guide for your platform. It gives basic RAM requirements.
• Chapter 6, “Implement: Making Required Database Administration
Changes”.
• Details on configuring memory and data caches in the System Administration
Guide
• Information on how to configure memory for performance in the Performance
and Tuning Guide.
Here are some additional tips:
• Execute performance measurements on a system with similar capabilities.
• For a production system, execute the performance suite during off hours.
Scheduling For a development system, you may want to add a short period to the
development schedule for release 11.x issues.
For a production system, be prepared to postpone or back off if needed.
