It might be a silly question, but here goes. For anyone who has gone/is going through the v16 upgrade (and is on RAMP/Hosted services) is it possible to have your test site refreshed with data? I know in the past it's been difficult-to-not-possible. If it's not a possible thing, I can definitely see it having an effect on when we eventually decide to work on the upgrade.
thanks!
For a variety of reasons we have sprung for a Dev instance to start our v16 upgrade in. There's obviously a cost to this, but we understand we might be able to run a database reset at some point. The issue, as with even a point upgrade, but magnified greatly by an upgrade this extensive is having to wipe the entire system, restore the database, and then go through all the upgrade steps again. With v16 this involves not just a lot of migration work, but there's generally a lot of manual work that has to be done post-migration.
All very true. It's been (5?) years since the last time I've had to do a major upgrade, and thought I remembered something about a way to force a data refresh between the different versions, but... as ever, thank you for the sanity check!
