Consensus for 2021 upgrades? 2021.0 or 2021.2?

    We have a few upgrades coming up.  Do we still need to be upgrading to 2021.0 and applying updates after conversion or have the issues previously reported when converting been fixed with update 2?

    I have not been applying PU for any PREMIUM upgrades until I've migrated and converted. This is based on feedback from several 90 Minders that there appears to be a product defect in either v2021 PU1 or PU2 specific to premium and to migration.

    I've done two Premium to 2021 Premium migrations recently.
    • First was to PU1 (forced to that version due to custom programming made for that patch level).  SQL error during the migration, KB 76993 (Cannot open backup device...).  I did the backups from source system to the target folder (in the error message) manually, and it worked after that.
    • Second was to PU2, no errors / issues.
    Two other upgrades to 2021.2 Advanced went fine.

    Edit: PU's were installed prior to migration in all of the above upgrades.

    I believe we had issues with update 1 for non-premium upgrades.  Anyone else with issues with update 2 installed before migration/conversion in premium or non-premium?

    Ditto to Kevin Moyes' experience. Also, I normally do test upgrades so once I've applied the updates, it's too much trouble to go back.

    We've had the experience of Premium migrations failing with both PU1 and PU2 - Have had 2 successful Premium upgrades with no PU and apply PU2 later. However I have a Premium upgrade stalled now because I can't successfully migrate WITHOUT PU2 due to Sy_RoleSecurity bug and can't successfully migrate WITH PU 2 - tried all of the manual backup @Kevin Moyes mentioned but nothing worked.  Sage is supposed to be checking on resolution to the PU 2 migration issue.

    Correct – there is definitely a defect with PU1 and PU2 and engineering is working on it

    Just yesterday I got burned by a v2021 PU2 Premium install; the migration hung indefinitely and I needed to reinstall to PU0 then migrate then install  the PU.

    Any enhancements?  Both my Premium's had a few, and maybe there is a pattern?

    @Kevin Moyes none.  Plain distribution.​

    so it seems Premium is primarily the issue?   Not much mention of Std or Adv.

    I just posted details on the Premium / SQL issue / fix I encountered... in a separate post (to not clutter up this one with discussions about that issue).
