Hi!

I do recommend to use the the test env. for the upgrading.

1. Upgrade PostgreSQL to 9.6 at least. (as it's supported by both version)

2. Review and do upgrade/cleanup the apps

3. Upgrade platform

4. Check step 2, again. as the second step was a goal of inventory and functionality consolidation step.

Hope, it helps
