Upgrading Orion platform NPM 12.1 to 12.5 and SQL database migration from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2017

Hi Guys,

In the process of upgrading our Orion platform and latest 2019.2 release.

I am bit rusty on the server end so if you can help me out much appreciated

Current environment:

Orion Platform

     Server 2016

     NPN Version 12.1

SQL Server

     SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP3)

     New SQL server 2017 in place

I want to go to latest release of NPM 12.5 and migrate my SQL Database to new SQL server 2017

From the Upgrade documentation for 12.1 the latest supported SQL Server is 2016.

As for the upgrade process how do I proceed?

- Can I Migrate Database from SQL server 2008 to SQL server 2017?

- Point database to SQL Server 2017 while running NPM 12.1?

- Upgrade Orion Server to NPM 12.5?
