Personally, based on various experiences with multiple customers, most of
the time it's better to look into migrating from 6.1 to 9.05 versus
upgrading.
The use of the DMT tool to filter, clean up, and reload your data into a
clean DB is generally a much much better option.
There are massive changes from 6.1 to 9.05 and for all intents and purposes
I would consider it a completely new program, and would consider it a new
implementation, not really an upgrade.
Making a jump like that is a good opportunity to do a thorough cleaning of
your database.
The only downside is losing some history, but in the long run, for DB health
and performance, I'd seriously consider the migration/re-implementation
route with the DMT tool over an upgrade of the DB.

Subject: [Vantage] 6.1 Upgrades
I remember seeing some members upgrading to E9 from 6.1 by jumping the
various releases. Did anyone ever do a write up on it or atleast some
instructions? I just spent today upgrading a test bed from 6.10.543 to
8.00.812A but I don't know if I can jump directly to 8.03.400 without doing
the original 8.03.3xx install. If anyone can point me to some resources, I
would appreciate it.
Thanks
