Hi Sanjay,

- Install the Alfresco 6.0 first and do not start it.

- Take a dump of database of 5.0

- Point to the alf_data folder of 5.0 by making changes in the alfresco-global.properties file in 6.0

- Restore the dump to 6.0

- start the 6.0 server check whether the contents and other properties are properly working or not.

- Try to apply the customizations - (This may require little changes in your custom code)

- If they are working well then you're lucky else you might need to prepare your package using compatible sdk.

hi,

how about we are running old 5.0 and want to upgrade to v 6.2, what is the stable/offical upgrade path?

for 5.0 - 6,2, which version allow the separation between Alfresco and PostgreSQL? it will be much stable in this way ?

any tools to migrate PostgreSQL bundled in 5.0 to another PostgreSQL in another server?

Hi @dba100 

Alfresco doesn't provide any tools to migrate PostgreSQL to another server or edition.
