RE: 10.7 on sequent to 11i on sun

Reed,

I've done similar Finapps upgrades for clients in the past. If you want to minimize the number of steps, try this:

1. Install 8.1.7 on the Sun and create then empty DB.
2. exp/imp the db from the Sequent to the Sun
3. Install 11i on the Sun and run the upgrade.

You don't need 10.7 installed to run the upgrade. You might need to run some of the pre-upgrade steps (in the upgrade manual) on the Sequent before the exp/imp. Plan on one or two trial runs of the whole process to work the kinks out.
