Solution & Benefits

Orange Oranges was chosen to provide its technical expertise to strategize, implement, execute, and support a side-by-side upgrade from version 10.5 to 10.15 while ensuring:

• Structured Upgrade Approach: employing best practices to plan, install, test and deploy the new version while minimizing risks.
• Performance Optimization: maintaining and improving system performance post-upgrade.
• Continuous Operational Functionality: avoiding disruptions during and after the transition.

Below are the key steps involved in the structured upgrade approach:

• Structured Upgrade Approach:
  • Pre-Upgrade Planning: check compatibility, backup everything, review customizations and dependencies, develop a rollback plan.
  • Upgrade Execution: download/ install new components, migrate configurations and custom code, validate core components: Integration Server (IS), Universal Messaging (UM), MWS, Trading Networks (TN).
  • Post-Upgrade Validation: perform functional testing, monitor logs, resolve issues.
  • Go-Live and Follow-Up: deployment roll out from stage to production environments, ensure training and documentation upgrade
• Performance Optimization
  • Fine-tune JVM heap size, garbage collection and thread pools based on workload.
  • Optimize database performance with indexing, partitioning and connection pooling.
  • Leverage caching for IS, MWS and UM.
• Continuous Operational Functionality
  • Implement zero-downtime upgrade strategy with parallel environment set up.
  • Communicate maintenance windows to stakeholders.

This comprehensive effort resulted in a successful upgrade, supporting enhanced capabilities and system reliability.
