Checklist: Differential upgrade steps

Applying a Differential upgrade from a development system to a production system requires these steps:

  1. Create separate Patch records for the development and production systems. The patch records must reference the same files on each system.
  2. Create Signature records for the production (target) system.
  3. Move Signature records to the development system.
  4. Create the Differential upgrade from the development (source) system. You can create an external unload file or an internal file.
  5. Customize the Differential upgrade unload files. This is optional if you created an internal file.
  6. Create a differential upgrade unload from internal files.
  7. Load the Differential upgrade unload into the production (target) system.
