Upgrading from EA 9 to 12

[robject]

I would like to gather information on how to best upgrade an existing EA 9 repository (hosted on Oracle) to version 12.
What can I expect?

No major issues except if you are using add-ins.
In that case you might get unexpected shutdowns. Check with the add-in providers if there's an update to cope with this.

I had to issue updates for EA Navigator and EA-Matic because of a change int he API that broke existing code.

Does this also mean that the repository format has not changed between these versions? For example, if some users upgrade to 12, and others still use 9.0, would those 9.0 users not encounter any issues?

The only issues they can experience is with new features that are not yet supported in v9

One that I know of is the enumeration type. In v9 that is not used yet so it will show up as a unknown element type.
