We are on centricity12.0.13 running on sql server 2008 and preparing to upgrade to 12.2.2 on sql server 2014 sp1.
Things I plan to do.
1. backup the database
2. take database offline
3. move the backup to new server
4. restore from backup
5. run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE
6. run sp_updatestats
7. set compatibility_level to 120
I am also creating a new app server so fresh install of cps, copy all the ccc and html file. Finally update all the terminal server.
I am not planning to move link logic and esm yet.
Since I am not a database administrator and I have only done this in demo environment, am I missing anything? any gotacha?
Disable SQL agent backup jobs (heck disable SQL agent) that might run during your upgrade. I had that one burn me once at the very end. I had to restart a 4 hour upgrade.

thank you @SLHV, I will put that in my to do list before migration
Remember to run the DB Jobs in Server Setup and update your DB backup location also if you are changing it.
Does server setup re-create all the job?
As I recall, it does. The backup locations revert to default, and the schedules all revert to default.
