When do you need these upgrades completed?

No later than May 30, 2019. 

What are the key feature upgrades and their impact?

Goal Management - v11 to v12

• These mandatory upgrades will be made to all instances currently using GM v11 to GM v12 during the Q1 2019 release.
• The upgrade to Goal Management v12 includes the Fiori User Interface and will not require any additional configuration changes.

• Mandatory upgrades will be made to all instances currently using PM v11 and PM v12 to PM v12A during the Q2 2019 release.
• Once Performance Management has been upgraded to PM v12A, you will no longer be able to launch forms that were created in the previous versions.
• The upgrade will only upgrade the instance. You will need to use the Validation Tool within the form template to upgrade the individual templates to PM v12A.

• The mandatory RBP upgrade must be completed by May 2019.
• The mandatory upgrade will be made to all instances currently using the legacy permission model during the Q2 2019 release.
