Srini,
Primerica migrated to 6.0.0.0 at the end of Jan, 2019. We also migrated from an AIX host server to a newer RHEL server. B2Bi 6.0 was installed from scratch.
We migrated by doing Deployment -> Resource Management -> Import/Export -> Export of our resources. We then imported them to the new installation.
The challenges we faced were the normal localization changes when the new install has a different $install_dir path than the old system.
We were surprised to have to do a separate download and $install_dir/bin/InstallService.sh for the GPM. We discovered also that the 6.0.0.0 GPM Source Manager function doesn't work. The work-around is to export the .BPML file to the local PC, edit it with the GPM, and import it. A PITA but no show stopper.
We had to change our PGP encrypt/decrypt CommandLine2 BP to use the RHEL gpg utility. But, that was a benefit since that brought access to the latest PGP ciphers.
There's an old system saying, "a new version doesn't always fix the existing bugs, it just replaces them with new bugs."
The "new bugs" have not been anything we couldn't live with - and the freshly-released 6.0.0.1 fixpack is supposed to fix a bunch of them.
FYI, we are not running File Gateway. We are running custom BPs that emulate AFT. YMMV

If any company has migrated to newer V6.0, We would like to know challenges faced, new features that are cool. Please share your thoughts?
