Hi
I have a question regarding NW Database install/upgrade,
Currently we use MII 11.5 with MSSQL 2008
Below is one of the possible solution option we are evaluating while migrating to 15.0 from 11.5:
Option to use a separate SQL Server 2008 DB instance (as External DB) in the existing 2008 DB Physical server for NW install.
In future (in a year) when the DB server lease expires, we would want to move to SQL Server 2014 in the New replacement physical server.
Question:
In the future case, of New database Server + upgrade from 2008 to 2014 SQL Server,
Do you think it will require a reinstall of NW Application server using NEW 2014 + Transports + ... OR
Only a backup and restore of 2008 to 2014 with some minor rewiring of NW Application Server to point to the New 2014 DB server ?
In General, while using an External DB with NW for MII 15.0, How does a database upgrade work ? Can it be managed without affecting NW ?
