How to migrate to new version of Smalltalk ?

Hi,

I am doing a migration from 5i.0 to 7.7 version of Smalltalk.
There is a lot of job to do due to the long time between these versions.

What I did was to group all the needed code in the same parcel and extract (file out) this parcel so as to reload it in the 7.7 version.

Is there another/better way to do this ?

Nicolas,

Our organization has helped Cincom customers in dozens of migration projects. I have to admit that 5i.0 is has been a very seldom source version in our projects, but the same procedures apply as for 2.5, 2.5.2, 3.x, 5i.x and 7.x versions. We also have developed a formal migration workshop with training material.

A first look would be to the existing system and how the software is organized and how the sources are stores. 5i.0 could have Envy or Store or parcels or st-files or categories.

Hi Nicolas,

Did you successfully complete the migration from 5i to 7.7. ? I am also planning to do the same kind of migration and would thought of checking with you about the issues that you faced. and what would be the best approach?
Please advise.

Regards
Jay

Are you migrating from ENVY to Store? I've done a number of migrations
like that. The issues vary from client to client depending on what
features they use and how they've changed the base environment.

Simberon offers software upgrading services if that's something you'd be
interested in.
