ARS Upgrade from 6.9 to 7.2

Question

Hi, I was given a task to upgrade ARS 6.9 to 7.2 - newest version will be on the different server. I need a detailed step-by-step guide since this is on the production environment.

The Quick Start Guide goes through this pretty well:

In-parallel upgrade side-by-side is strongly recommended for reasons: 
(a) RollBack: legacy ARS69 stays untouched and "insuarance" for RollBack if needed 
(b) Testing: allows time/room to "breath" to test in Production new ARS72, with no impact on HelpDesk and ADAdmin and no heavy cut-over date 
(c) (a-b) is very strong points to support the point: ARS is Enterprise Front-End Compliance sensitive Application and to be treated this way. 
 
AR Quick Start Guide covers some topics from Install/Devs standpoint, not from Solution/Consultant.
