    Ahead of any attempt to do a 7.6.1.1 upgrade I would highly suggest an upgrade to 7.6.0.4 release level. As noted by Mariane there may exist some subtle differences in the installed software.  The upgrade to 7.6.0.4 should alleviate that issue. Once the environment is at 7.6.0.4 and is fully operational, the upgrade to 7.6.1.1 should be a more reliable activity.
