aseim99,<br><br>I don't understand why you don't just create a "DEV" VM and copy/clone your existing RT session & DB into it. Then do your upgrade and all testing in the "Dev" environment. When all goes well, you bring the prd environment down on the weekend for a couple hours, do the upgrade based on what you learned from "Dev" and viola! You DO have a "Dev" environment, right?<br>

My manager has given this task to me and will agree to upgrade the present<br>
system for the fear that if something going wrong. So the solution he has<br>
agreed to is to do it side by side. So i have no say here unless its not<br>
possilble to do side by side working solution. Hope that explains my<br>
situation.<br>
