Anybody performed upgrade to 5.5.2 and like to share your experience ? Specifically,
- problems encountered, if any
- was there a resolution ? if yes, what ?
- what was the source and target configuration, backign store size, how much time it takes for iwconvert, etc.
- any other observations that is not covered in the documentation.

Thanks.

iwconvert observations

* Don't try to run the converts in the background on Solaris (nohup myconvert.sh &) !!
Doing this I managed to nearly crash my TeamSite 4.5.1sp2 server, as the iwtrace.log file ballooned to more than 450 meg. An error was logged more than a dozen times a second:

TStorageHandle::InitializeRead cannot get fd: Too many open files

I have a case open with Interwoven support on this. The only way to stop the 'run away' log file was to bring down the TS4.5.1 server.

Running my conversions in the foreground worked just fine.

* Length of time/size.

Our source TS4.5.1 backing store is about 3.8 gigabytes. We created final editions for each of our branches (36 of them) after pushing all files to STAGING in each. We converted a total of 72 Editions to the TeamSite 5.5.2 server. The full conversion process took 70 minutes, and the new backing store is about 775 meg. We did not convert approximately 600 old editions. Our branches vary widely in size, so some conversions took only a minute or two, others took upwards for 20 minutes (our digital assets branch).

All told, I was quite surprised at how quickly the conversion went. The 'clone_was.ipl' script in the Supplement was also a great time saver, as it recreated all of our workarea structure in no time.
