Documentation of DB Schema Changes from 6.1 to 8.03.400

FYI,

I went up the food chain at Epicor and did find someone who could
supply the spreadsheets with the Schemas changes. The bummer is,
there are 3 different spreadsheets that I'm going to have to
combine. 6.1 to 8, 8 to 8.03, 8.03 to 8.03.400. Has anyone done
something similar? Or is there some other list of the major
structural changes to the DB?

Thanks,

Brian Stenglein

When I upgraded from 5.0 to 6.1 Epicor had a spreadsheet that
documented the changes in DB structure through those versions. I asked
support if there was a similar tool for going from 6.1 to 8.03.400.
The tech I talked to suggested review ALL of the patch change lists. I
just about fell off my chair.

I'm running into several significant changes so far and I've only
looked at a few reports. For example, the ShipHead table no longer
contains the OrderNum field. In the Invoice Detail table the RepSplit
and RepRate fields are no longer arrays. They are each broken out into
5 fields. The Part Table no longer contains costs, instead there is a
new Part Cost table.

Does anyone know of documentation that would cover all of these kinds
of changes to the data structure from 6.1 to 8.03.400?
