Completed the 'upgrade' of our production server today.
Backed up APM (doclink2) and Service Connect (ESCDB) databases
Uninstalled SQL 2000
Uninstalled DocLink
Installed SQL2005 + SP3 (2.6 requires SQL 2005 or 2008)
Installed APM 2.6 - remember to setup COM services
Restored databases
Ran SQL conversion exe
Ran into 1 issue - somehow the ERM configuration got duplicated and the ERM Service picked the wrong one so documents would not get processed - Deleted the bad row from DB and all seems good.
Set up Routing lists for each Buyer (PO Form) and used their email address as the reply to in the routing email configuration - no more out of office replies to generic doclink email address for emailed POs

Subject: [Vantage] APM 2.5 to 2.6 upgrade
Has anyone out there preformed the upgrade themselves for Advance Print Management from version 2.5 to 2.6? We just got the CD in the mail and it has been recommended from support that we upgrade but it appears to be a clean install not just an in place upgrade. I know we had some issues that the 2.5 install instructions were not complete so we could not install ourselves and had to get Epicor to install for a fee.
If anyone has done this an ran into any issues please let me know. Thank you
