SharePoint 2013 Upgrade Overview
SharePoint 2013 Upgrade Deep Dive
Past & Future
Issues:- Difficult problems- Not all components can be upgraded- Long running upgrade process- Not clear what exactly happens during upgrade –
only a logfile at the end- All or nothing migration
Past & Future
Lessons learned:- “site collection health checks”- database attached update for almost all Service Applications- “self-service site collection upgrade”
- Separating “Site Collection Upgrade” and “Database Upgrade”
- “cross-version services connections”- “throttles and queue management”- ULS Logs- Upgrade Evaluation
Some Facts
No in place Upgrade available
DB attached Upgrade is the only way without using 3th Party Tools or
code
/14 and /15 hives will be installed
No visual Upgrade based on „switch Stylesheets etc.“.
Site Collections are running in /14 or /15
hive
Features and Templates from
SP2010 still work
“upgrade job in process” - no way to remove during run
NO RollbackNo problems with
RBS, Upgrade is a DB Schema Update
SPDesigner 2010 still works for some SP2013 parts – unsupoorted

•Upgrade Throttles•Throttle per web application•Throttle per content database•Upgrade Timer Jobs•Farm admin override
Customizations Upgrade •Existing customizations older than SharePoint 2010 may work, but change delta is much higher
•Existing SharePoint 2010 customizations should normally work without change in 14 mode but may require changes to work in 15 mode (Visual customizations (i.e. JS/CSS))
•New SharePoint ’15’ customizations not available in 14 mode
Unsupported In 14 Mode•All new SharePoint ’15’ specific features•2010 Web Analytics•Existing web analytics features must be removed•New web analytics features supported only in 15 mode
•2010 Office Web Applications•Replaced with ’15’ Office Web Applications for both 14 and 15 modes•PowerPoint Broadcast Sites must be removed-use Lync instead
Services Upgrade •Most services databases can be upgraded
• ’15’ Office Web Applications (WAC) on separate farm
