Sure. That's why I recommended to follow the steps in the Migration Guide. OK, maybe I should have said that reading the Guide *prior* to any action on behalf of the OP is in order, but then I also assume that when one is aware that there is such a thing as a Migration Guide, one actively uses the grey mass between one's ears and reads it.

Not how many people work, I realise ;-()
