Upgrading to Actuate 6 SP1 Fix 10

---

A new version of Actuate, Actuate 6 SP1 Fix 10, is used with release 7.5.3. Due to this version change, you may need to upgrade the Actuate components from Actuate 6 Fix 3, used for release 7.5.2, to Actuate 6 SP1 Fix 10, used for release 7.5.3.

When upgrading the Siebel Reports Server from release 7.5.2 to release 7.5.3, you must be aware of the following:

These instructions apply to the upgrade of the Siebel Reports Server from release 7.5.2 to release 7.5.3.
Actuate 6 SP1 Fix 10 is installed from release 7.5.3 and not from release 7.5.2. However, the Siebel Reports Server Access is installed first from release 7.5.2 followed by release 7.5.3.
In addition, install the Siebel Reports Server Access release 7.5.2 with the other Siebel servers you are installing for release 7.5.2. You will not be able to go back and install the Siebel Reports Server Access release 7.5.2 after the Siebel servers (releases 7.5.2 and 7.5.3) are installed.
