I believe this ties with the Upgrade Strategy the client / implementing partner has agreed upon on a higher level.

Hello @malik.sally 

Thanks for reply!
But what is the difference between both?

Agreement we had is simple, upgrade from IFS9 to IFSCLOUD23R2 with remote deployment model.
Servers are hosted on oracle cloud and data movement will be done using export/import and later upgrade script.

Can anyone let me know which option to select for above one?

Thanks,
Hardik

Hello @malik.sally ,

In the IFS documentation you shared, there are different options, then what i see.
For upgrade there is only option in the documentation, but when i actually do it i see 2 upgrade options one with data and other with add data manually.
So need to confirm which option is more suitable.

I believe, the following are the options (they don’t directly match with what you see in the build place)

I might be wrong, an expert in this area can reconfirm. I understand it as if you want a direct upgrade along with the customers data, you should use the last option in your list.
If you want to uplift the environment first and then have a data migration strategy to load the APP 9 data you need to migrate them using one of the migration tools.
