Migration of Unity Connection from 7.1.2 to 11.x

[Yangjp715]

Hi there,

One of my client would like to migrate their existing Unity Connection from 7.1.2 to 11.x from MCS server to BE6K. Based on the Unity connection 11 release notes, UC7.1.2 cannot be directly upgrade to 11.x, I first need to upgrade to an intermediate version of UC 7.1.3. It will take more time. Is there anyone knows PCD currently supports UC migration?

Thanks in advance.

Use COBRAS to migrate the info, and the PCD documentation already explains thoroughly in which scenarios, and for what products, it works. Have you reviewed it???

Just double check. Sometime the documentation is not alway uptodate. 

About COBRAS,  although it is not version specific, but it has some backup limitation. I have to manually configure it after importing.
