4.3 to 6.0

Is there a DATA conversion path directly from 4.3 to 6.0 Classic or are 2 data hops required like going from 2.6 to 5.1 or going from 3.6 to 5.1. I have NOT seen a migration took kit for 6.0 classic yet? I thought I saw a post that said that the upgrade to 6.0 classic was objects only, meaning you would use the migration tool kit objects for 5.1 to get from 4.3 to 6.0 as long as you had your mods in the 6.0 objects.

Has anyone gone from 4.1 4.2 or 4.3 to 6.0 Classic? Our customer databases are relatively large (80GB to 200GB) so 2 data hops is time consuming.

You can directly migrate data from 4.0 to 2009.

Using the 5.1 migration toolkit? If not the 5.1 tooklit where can a 2009 upgrade toolkit be found? I have tried Partner SOurce etc but could not find one.

are you sure ssingla?
i always thought the correct process is 4.x -> 5.1 -> 2009

Have done 3 upgradations (1 from 3.7, 1 from 4.0 (without SP) & 1 from 4.0 SP2) directly to 2009 without any problem. If MS has provided the upgradation toolkit I see no reason to go a extra step.

So my question remains. IS there a migration toolit available for 2009 or do you just use the migration toolkit provided with 5 SP1 and use 2009 objects?

Yes there is an upgrade toolkit for 2009. look in the DVD in 2009 sp1 for upgradetoolkit folder.
