This topic is a part of Performing a Siebel Analytics Platform Upgrade.

You can upgrade to a later version of the Siebel Analytics platform only while keeping your current version of the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog and repository and current Siebel operational application with its existing repository and schema.

Upgrade only the Siebel Analytics platform components (Siebel Analytics Server and Analytics Web Server) to the later version, as shown in the topics Deciding to Upgrade the Siebel Analytics Platform and Upgrading Siebel Analytics Platform Components. The Siebel Analytics Web Catalog and repository remain that of the earlier version.

To upgrade a Siebel Analytics Platform while keeping an older repository, use the following procedure.

To convert the older repository to the new platform format

1. Make sure that the Siebel Analytics Server is running.
2. Using the Server Administration Tool, open the repository file in online mode.
3. Save the repository file.

NOTE:  If this step is not performed, then, when the upgraded Siebel Analytics Server uses the old repository file, the repository is converted to the new format in memory for use by Siebel Analytics Server, but is not saved.
