Removing or Upgrading Siebel Analytics Software on Windows
If you are reinstalling Siebel Analytics, or installing a newer version of Siebel Analytics software, you must first uninstall the current version before proceeding with the installation. This section describes how to uninstall an earlier installed version of Siebel Analytics.
Before removing or upgrading any Siebel Analytics software, follow these precautions:
- Make backups of the Web Catalog, repository (.rpd), and the instanceconfig.xml, DBFeatures.INI, NQSConfig.INI, and NQClusterConfig.INI files and move them to a temporary location. The uninstaller offers the option of deleting or keeping them, but it is recommended that you back up these files.
NOTE: The DBFeatures.INI, NQSConfig.INI, and NQClusterConfig.INI files for Windows are located at $INSTALLDIR\Config. The instanceconfig.xml file for Windows is located at $INSTALLDIRData\Web\config.
- If you are upgrading the software, the newer version will not start using the older version's configuration file. It is recommended that you back up and store your old NQSConfig.INI file for reference.
To remove an existing installation of Siebel Analytics software
- Stop the following services (from Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services):
- Using the Add/Remove Programs feature, uninstall Siebel Analytics.
You will be asked if you want to keep your existing .rpd and .ini files.
NOTE: If you uninstall Siebel Analytics, you also uninstall the Corda image server product. However, not all of the image server files are removed, and the directory structure is left behind. Manually delete these files and the directories. Do not use the Windows Add or Remove Programs utility.
