I believe this is possible, I just don’t know how or where to find the documentation. I am wanting to test out upgrades before I push them out. Is there documentation on how to do this?
E10?
Just upgrade your test app server and not your pilot… Only thing is it requires different clients (Physically) otherwise you’ll be updating the client back and fourth all day

Sorry, we have E10 now, but thinking ahead for 10.2.
AH 10.2 is a “MAJOR” release which means’ you’ll have a whole new deployment / app server etc you can do all that without affecting your production at all.

Gotcha, so I can just install it, and I can be the only one using it until it works correctly, correct?
yeah
How crazy do you think it will be to go from 10.1.400.29 to 10.2?
Not crazy at all just test test test test 
Also I would recommend you wait till the 2nd or 3rd biweekly release of 10.2 to go live

Has anyone seen a schedule on locally hosted version of 10.2 release?
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. For us, we have purposely kept our system with minimal customization. So, I’m hoping that makes it much easier. I’m a little interested in the Epicor Data Analytics piece, but can’t find info on it yet.
I was told the end of November it should be coming out, after the cloud.
If I said When it’s ready would you throw things at me?

And everything is working in 10.3!! Right out of the gate, dreams will come true. 10.3 is the answer to all of our fears and troubles.

If I need to test 10.2.400.x and the current version is 10.2.200.15, what steps do you recommend?
Can these be on the same App Server?
As long as we are willing to have 2 client machines (or have it update the client each time I switch), is there an issue?
Are there specific steps not outlined in the Install/Upgrade Documents?
Same machine should be fine
There’s nothing I can think of in terms of not being outlined in the docs. One thing I would recommend is if /when you do-decide to upgrade an instance to wipe out the entire instance and re-create it.
the web.config sometimes doesn’t merge cleanly.
For testing, we are creating a new Instance (Epicor10Upgrade, for example).
Are you saying that our Epicor10Live, Epicor10Pilot, etc should be deleted (not the DB obviously) and recreated when we are ready to upgrade? This means we would simply select the version during the recreation, right?
