    Lot of process, module and configuration has added to v12. So, Jumping directly from v10.x to V12.x is very challenging job, in-fact configuration will not load and its not recommendable.

    I would advice to go to 10.x to 11.x(

    TMOSH
    ) version and make stable your application and environment. Once all are ok move to V12.x Version.

      You will find lot of documents in Google n devcentral.

       

      There are few thumb rule.

       

      1. Take ucs or scf backup

         

      2. Capture qkview n upload to ihealth.

         

      3. Open F5 support case if you valid contract.
