Mike,

We use pretty the much same environment but went from 7.2 to 9...as stated at the last LBUG the early adopters have found most of the big problems and they have been solved by collaboration with BB. The only slight 'hangover' for us was the performance of the JVM. BB9 has been operating at an average of 99.8 against our SLA of 99.7 since the upgrade in May 09...

If you go to the address;

You will see our report (LSBU) plus Teesside, Northampton etc

Regards

Dear all

 

We?re evaluating the case to upgrade from version 8 to 9 over the coming months, ready for the start of AY 10-11.

 

We?re currently running Blackboard Learn (Course Delivery, Community Engagement and Content Management) version 8.0.422.7 using an Oracle database server and load-balanced application servers all running on Red Hat Linux within a virtualised (VMware ESX) environment.

 

Have any of you made a similar transition in recent months and, if so, would you be willing to share any lessons learned as well as advising us of any Known Issues you have been working around since upgrading?

 

Many thanks

 

Mike
