Hi,
We are planning to upgrade from Appian 7.5 to 16.2. What would be the best approach? Should we go from 7.5 to 7.8 and then 16.2? or we should go directly from 7.5 to 16.2? We looked at the documentation, it looks like there are no extra steps required to upgrade directly from 7.5 to 16.2. Can anyone guide over this?
Thanks in advance,
Varnika

Direct from 7.5 to 16.2 should be fine. There will be a good number of config changes but they should be listed in the migration guide. Make sure you do it in a test environment first, and test out as much of the code as you can. Check all the individual release notes for any functionality changes due to resolved issues.

Hi Varnika, Yes, you can upgrade from 7.5 to 16.2. As Jim suggested, make sure test upgrading in a test environment first. More information can be found at

Hi Varnika,
We actually upgraded to 7.9 first as it's definitely the biggest release between 7.5 and 16.x. If you look at the release notes (
forum.appian.com/.../Appian_Release_Notes.html)
, you can see that's when most of the improvements on SAIL, Sites, WebAPIs, Elastic Search etc. came into play. From then, I would recommend you go straight into 16.1 (16.2 still has some issues, which are pending hotfixes).

@kdimitrov - Thanks for the response. I know there are notes available for the upgrade that we need to follow but by any chance to do you have a step-by-step documentation of the upgrade from 7.5 or whatever version you were using before to 7.9 please?

Hi,
The migration guide for 7.9 can be found here, it's pretty straight-forward but takes a few hours if you are doing it for the first time.
