Nikesh,

The only doc I'm aware of that helps with migrations is the OTM Admin Guide -- though that only helps with the db migration and not other components (custom screens, saved queries, etc).

Of course each version also includes integration guides and data schema guides which give information on the deltas between various releases.

Hi Nikesh,

What I found useful was to create a detailed migration plan based on the regression testing done on 5.5

I am going through a migration now and what I did was:
1) Migrated 5.0 to 5.5 without any changes done to my config
2) Test 5.5 and document all issues / problems and resolutions
3) Execute multiple rehearsals to be familiar with migration issues / problems
4) Develop a migration plan based on the issues and resolutions

This has helped my team to be fairly prepared (it is impossible to be fully prepared ) for the migration.

Hope this helps!
