Need some help. We have a customer who wants to upgrade form 32bit to 64bit, but I can't seem to find any doc's regarding the process of migrating a 32bit db to a 64bit db.
Hi 'TheMadDBA',
So just to confirm before I take the plunge of no return. I can:
Shutdown all 11.3 processes (db's appservers.....)
truncate bi's
Uninstall 11.3
Install 11.5
re-compile my source code
start all processes
It sounds too simple. There must be a catch somwhere?

There is no difference from a database perspective. No conversion is required.
All of the 64 bit differences for memory access are in the OpenEdge executables. The biggest and most common issues are OE client related and almost exclusively because the code is using OCX controls or direct dll calls.

The question is, why you intend to uninstall 11.3 before testing 11.5? I'd leave 11.3 (at least on the server side) installed for a few days as a fall back.
The customer is still at the start of the implementation where we can do this. More importantly, I have DB backups and source code if I need to re-instate the system.
For an OpenEdge upgrade within a major release, I would suggest:
