Upgrading from AquaLogic Analytics 2.1 to Oracle WebCenter Analytics 10.3.0.1

To upgrade from AquaLogic Analytics 2.1 to Oracle WebCenter Analytics 10.3.0.1:

1. Delete the \Analytics folder beneath the install_dir\common\container\tomcat\5.0.28\work directory.

2. Back up the installation directory of the previously-installed version of the Analytics Services component, using the tool of your choice.

   Note:

   In AquaLogic Analytics 2.1, the Analytics Services component installation consisted of the BEA AL Analytics service, the core Analytics application files, and the BEA AL Analytics Collector service. The default installation directory for Analytics Services was install_dir\ptanalytics (Windows) and install_dir/ptanalytics (UNIX and Linux).

   In 10.3.0.1, installing the Analytics Console component installs only the BEA AL Analytics service and the core Oracle WebCenter Analytics application files. Installing the Analytics Collector component installs only the BEA AL Analytics Collector service.

3. (Linux/UNIX only) Grant user and group access rights to Oracle Inventory directories. For details, see Granting User and Group Access Rights to Oracle Inventory Directories.

4. Install the Analytics Console component. For details, see Installing the Analytics Console Component.

   If you are choosing the same location as the existing software, accept the default installation directory location when prompted.

   Note:

   When performing the installation process, ensure that the Oracle WebCenter Analytics database settings are correct in Oracle WebCenter Configuration Manager. However, do not configure any other Analytics Console settings in Oracle Configuration Manager at this time.

5. Register portal events. For details, see Registering Core and Portal Events.

6. Install the Analytics Collector component and configure Analytics Collector settings in Oracle WebCenter Configuration Manager. For details, see Installing the Analytics Collector Component.

7. (Optional) If desired, cluster the BEA AL Analytics Collector service. For details, see Clustering the BEA AL Analytics Collector Service.

8. Back up the Oracle WebCenter Analytics database using the tool of your choice.

9. Upgrade the Oracle WebCenter Analytics database by running the upgrade_2.1_to_10.3.0.1.sql script:

   • Windows: install_dir\ptanalytics\10.3.0.1\sql\database\upgrade_2.1_to_10.3.0.1.sql

   • UNIX/Linux: install_dir/ptanalytics/10.3.0.1/sql\database/upgrade_2.1_to_10.3.0.1.sql

10. On the machine on which you installed the Analytics Console component:

    1. Access Oracle WebCenter Configuration Manager.

    2. Click the + symbol next to the Analytics Console application name to view its components.

    3. Configure all Analytics Console settings.

11. Run the Analytics25Update.bat file:

    • Windows: install_dir\ptanalytics\10.3.0.1\bin\Analytics25Update.bat

    • UNIX/Linux: install_dir/ptanalytics/10.3.0.1/bin/Analytics25Update.sh

12. (Oracle database only) Run your database's analysis tool on both the Oracle WebCenter Analytics and portal databases to increase the efficiency of the databases.
