On every node (even if just one), uninstall Zephyr Enterprise Data Center 4.7

Drop all database tables in the MySQL database for ITCC and DVERSION if they exist
Stop all Zephyr Enterprise Data Center application nodes before running the upgrade process on the database

Run the 5.0 Upgrader Utility in Upgrade mode. Use the same backup you checked in step 2 above.

Use the formatd below to run the utility and point the utility to where your MySQL server and my.ini/my.cnf file are located

Windows

<Upgrader>.exe -VzMySQLPath='C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe' -VzMySQLCnfFilePath='C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\<your_ini_file>'

<Upgrader>.sh -VzMySQLPath='/usr/bin/mysql' -VzMySQLCnfFilePath='/etc/mysql/<your_cnf_file>'

Once upgrade is complete, start all application nodes and verify the upgrade completion by logging into the instance and checking data
