TwistedHelixis Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I am starting to think about migrating Sims & FMS from SQL 2012 to SQL 2016. I just started to read the migration docs our LA have sent me and at the start it says Customers on SQL Server 2012 will be supported up to and including the SIMS 2018 Autumn Release. I am not even sure what they are refereeing to as I thought SQL 2012 was supported for another year or so. Do they mean the migration tool? Should I be worried?
ThatBoringBloke Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 SQL 2012 with Sp4 is supported until spring 2022 according to the SIMS Technical Roadmap I had the same concerns a few months ago.
Greg Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Ask your LA as your support contract is with them SIMS is now supported by Capita until 2022, it was changed from Summer this year Your LA may be changing the SQL versions that it supports or it may be a doc that needs updating 1
FishCustard Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 That said, migrating SQL versions isn't as scary as it may first look. Spin up another VM, install SQL 20, try the migration, go from there. If it all goes wrong, you can just keep the old server running.
bobsmith Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 ... SIMS is now supported by Capita until 2022, it was changed from Summer this year ... Do you know something about Capita that we don't.....?
Greg Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Do you know something about Capita that we don't.....? Ha, it was supposed to say SIMS on SQL 2012 is supported...
