How is the UpgradePath from 8.1 SP1 P15 to Version 8.2 and the next Steps to 8.3

[JayGuillette · Accepted solution]

Always patch Primary 1st, replicas second, one at a time, one patch at a time, as replication will break until you patch the replica up.  AM 8.2 base, 8.2.0.0.0 is your first patch, AM 8.2 P5 is your second patch.

some might argue that you can skip AM 8.2 P5, and go directly to what I call your third patch, which would be AM 8.2 SP1, 8.2.1.0.0.  I think the amount of time spent on a single patch is worth it, though documentation says you can directly patch from AM 8.2 base no patches to AM 8.2 SP1.

Likewise I'd recommend at least one roll-up patch on AM 8.2 SP1, Patch 6 or higher.

Then AM 8.3

Then AM 8.3 P3, or P2 if you prefer to wait more than a week after a patch is released, to see if others report any unforeseen problems.
