Upgrading sql 2012 to 2016 for BDNA DataPlatform

[sushant_narula]

Hi All,

Our BDNA DataPlatform currently on 5.5.30 and SQl is 2012.
DB Administrators need to update SQL 2012 to SQL 2016.

I believe it is compatible, but do we need to take any action from our end before DBA update the SQL. Post activity we definitely going to perform health checks, but need to understand the role of DataPlatform Admin before the SQL upgrade from 2012 to 2016.

Thanks,

Hi Sushant

Are you doing an in place upgrade or using a different database server for 2016?

Basically you will need to rerun the DP and UC config wizards after upgrade or use of a new database server for SQL 2016.

Hi @DSood1 

It will be an in place upgrade on the existing server. 
Does rerun of DP and UC config wizards is needed for in-place upgrade ?

Thanks

It is probably not needed but I would do it to make sure everything connects properly after the upgrade.
