Question Request for Guidance on Upgrading Progress Database from Version 11.7 to 12.8

Thanks @Rob Fitzpatrick I think I don't have access from my personal progress ID because it is asking for customer Number and software serial number I don't have this and I can't share the Official details.

I don't understand your situation. You originally said:

I am currently preparing for an upgrade of our existing Progress database from version 11.7 to the latest version 12.8. As this will be my first time performing a database upgrade in this environment, I would greatly appreciate a detailed and validated step-by-step procedure.

Here is a brief overview of the current application architecture:
  • The frontend is built using Java and Angular.
  • The backend logic and database are both implemented using Progress.
  • The application communicates with the database using RESTful web services.
  • Both Tomcat and HTTPD (Apache) services are actively running and are integral to the current system setup.
I assumed "our" referred to your organization and that that organization is a Progress customer or a customer of a Progress application partner. How do you usually get technical support for OpenEdge? You need to sort that out before you attempt a project like this.
 
Yes, organization is progress customer I am not aware about the technical support we have or not. I need to discuss with my organization if we have support I'll Definitely raise the tech support with OpenEdge.
 
To upgrade your Progress DB from 11.7 to 12.8, the most critical step is to contact Progress technical support. They will provide detailed guidance and necessary resources. Good luck!

Progress Tech Support is great but, unless you actually have a problem, it is perfectly feasible to upgrade without ever talking to them. Most people have no problem at all and no need to work with support to get upgraded.
 
Hello @TomBascom, @wrong & @Rob Fitzpatrick,

Thanks for your response.

I believe the parse error I was experiencing was related to the web.xml file. After modifying the file, the parse error resolved, but I am now encountering a WAR file deployment error. I hope you're familiar with this issue and can assist me in deploying the WAR file. Additionally, when attempting to restart the PAS instance, I'm seeing the error shown in the attached snapshot. Please let me know if you require any further information to help me resolve this. I have attached all log files generated during the PAS instance startup.

I am not sure what error I am getting when I am using normal "pasman deploy -I pasdevsp war_file_path" it is showing deployed OK but when I am using the pasman pasoestart -restart -I pasdevsp getting this error.

Thanks
