Adding Licensed Functionality or Components to an Existing Siebel Business Analytics Deployment

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

You can add newly-purchased licensed Analytics functionality or components to an existing Siebel Business Analytics deployment without having to reinstall the product. For example, it might be required to add recently licensed Siebel Delivers functionality to your current Siebel Business Analytics deployment.

The incremental feature of the Siebel Business Analytics Platform installer is used to add the new licensed functionality. The specific procedure you use depends on your current version of Siebel Business Analytics:

• 7.8.x. Use the procedure To add licensed functionality in Analytics version 7.8.x.
• 7.7.1.x. Use the procedure To add licensed functionality in Analytics version 7.7.1.x.
• 7.7 and earlier. Use the procedure To add licensed functionality in Analytics versions 7.7 and earlier.

NOTE:  In all cases, back up the Siebel Analytics repository, Web catalog, NQSConfig.INI and license files. See the topic Which Analytics Folders and Files Should be Backed Up?.
If either the instanceconfig.xml file or Analytics Windows registry strings have been customized, these should be backed up for comparison to the new installation's instanceconfig.xml file or Analytics Windows registry strings. If the customizations are still viable in the new release, they should be applied accordingly.

Refer to Table 8 during the following procedures.

TIP:   The directory structures referenced are the same for Windows and UNIX environments.
