What People Tools tables need to be refreshed from Production to get current data during an upgrade
We are in the process of performing and application-only upgrade from FSCM 9.1/8.53.13 to FSCM 9.2/8.53.13 on certified upgrade path to Image 5 followed by applying a PUM generated change package to Image 13.
During MTP ALL metadata is copied from the MTP Source db into the new COP - including Trees, queries, security. The MTP Source is the previous pass COP upgraded to the new release.
However, our Production is not frozen during the upgrade so each time during the upgrade we move PeopleTools tables from Source DB to Target we stand the chance of loosing data in Production.
We know that we need to get current data from Production for Trees, Security, Queries, Favorites and Personalizations.
