Design Goals for 2013 Upgrades

Safer upgradesRemoval of in-place version to version upgrades Adding site collection health checks

Reduced outage duration(*saves ~2/3 upgrade time)

Power to the peopleLet site collection admins control their own destiny

Deferred Site Collection Upgrade

Eliminate big bang upgradesUpgrade database now, upgrade site collections laterKeep existing customizations, updated ones can wait

Move forward at a manageable paceInitially let users stay with 2010 experience:• Stay with the familiar• Keep using existing customizations

Gradually move users over to 2013 experience:• As training occurs (e.g. incrementally for each team)• As users decide to adopt new experience/features• As new version compatible customizations are available

Site Collection Health Checks

Rules can detect and in some cases repair issues

Rules can exist for use in 14 and/or 15 modesSame or different rules may apply

Can be run without doing upgradeGive advanced notice of potential future issues

Queuing Site Collection Upgrades

Throttles limit the number of parallel upgradesIn web application worker process:• Maximum in process site collection upgrade limits• IIS Process parallel site collection upgrade limit In any process:

Upgrade requests are always queued

Status of all queued upgrades are tracked within the queueEventually every site collection will have a single queue entry once it gets upgraded
