Hello, I have a specific question about the production cutover strategy for ARIS 7.2 to ARIS 9.6 upgrade.
Is it possible to update the ARIS 9.6 database incrementally ? Currently we have moved over all the needed objects from 7.2 to 9.6, However, on the day of production, we want to move just the delta changes from our current production environment (7.2) to the new production environment (9.6) with out actually doing the database creation from the scratch?
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Durga,
What are the reasons why you want to split up the content when converting an ARIS database in 7.2 into 9.6?
An ARIS database is a complex repository with most likely many connections/relationships between objects and models. If you move only parts of the complete repository into a new database, you are at risk to cut off connections between objects and models which are not part of the merging process.
Of course, ARIS supports repeatedly merging its process content from a source into a target database by automatically considering existing content, uniquely identified by GUIDs. Hence, the missing delta changes arrive in the target database.
But be aware of the risk that someone makes changes in either the source (ARIS 7 database) and target database (ARIS 9) after the first merge took place.
CheersRune
