Conclusion

As mentioned in Introduction in first part of this blog series, due to the unique nature of any BW system it is not possible to have a comprehensive list of issues but this can serve as quick reference for issues during upgrade/migration.

This concludes our 3 part blog series. Happy upgrading !!!
