As Noah outlined in August 2013:
* Get a '''full''' backup and configuration details from the country
: client/server settings: local projection files: translation files* Clean-up your dataset : there might be more country specific to do than what is mentioned in [[Data quality checks before upgrading to V6.0]]: and collect all mdml and xml files must be imported (at least to the workbench): backup againdata
* Upgrade your dataset to 6.0
: [[Upgrade from 5.08.04 to 6.0 process|Run V5.08.04 tools - Locale fix ]]
: [[Upgrade from 5.08.04 to 6.0 process|Run V5.08.04 tools - Re-calculation of area/length ]]
: [[Upgrade from 5.08.04 to 6.0 process|Extract MySQL ]]
* Uninstall ArcEngine 9.3.1, {{IMSMANG}} and IMSMA RE 5.08.04
: this need to be done on '''all''' computers in the country
* translations
* '''attachments'''
Verify that you can restore the backup!
You need also secure other files:
* IMSMA.mxd (if customized)
* External tools
* ODBC configurations
You need to take notes on client and server settings.
==Clean-up your dataset and collect all data==__NOEDITSECTION__
There might be more country specific to do than what is mentioned in [[Data quality checks before upgrading to V6.0]]. All mdml and xml files must be imported (at least to the workbench) because the support for mdml is ended and xml files created with 5.08.04 will not be possible to import into a V6.0 database.
==Upgrade your dataset to 6.0==__NOEDITSECTION__
This is described in details in '''[[Upgrade from 5.08.04 to 6.0 process]]'''
===Country Structure ID (optional)===__NOEDITSECTION__
