Re: 6.1 and 7.1

<snip>
So a site can say they are ready for 6.1, and they are also ready for
7.1, so far as object conversion goes.

There's the rub. "so far as object conversion goes". Object conversion
is a part of it. A HUGE part of it. However there are other parts which
may be significant for your installation.
- SQL differences.
- java version support.
etc
None of these are insurmountable. And if you've gotten past the object
conversion then addressing these should be small potatoes. That being
said, they still need to be addressed.

As others have said, there can be other issues - but object conversion is not one of these problems. So a site can say they are ready for 6.1, and they are also ready for 7.1, so far as object conversion goes. HTH Vern On 6/20/2013 10:45 PM, John McKee wrote:

is more of a difference between 6.1 & 7.1 than just the DVD labels.
