2 Upgradability and Compatibility

 

About Upgradability and Compatibility

It is essential for any software to be upgradable to higher versions as well as compatible with multiple versions. This chapter describes about the upgrade and compatibility of Argus Insight.

Upgrade Path

You can upgrade directly to this version of Insight from Argus Insight version 5.1. After completing the upgrade, you must execute an initial ETL.

Argus Insight 5.1 single-tenant users can upgrade to Argus Safety 7.0 multi-tenant environment.

The Argus Insight 5.1 single-tenant users can upgrade to Argus Safety 7.0 single-tenant users by using the Migration Utility. This utility overwrites any configuration data existing for an enterprise. It is necessary for all such upgrade that Argus Safety be upgraded to 7.0.

The upgrade path is to be as follows - i. Upgrade Argus Safety application to Argus Safety 7.0 (this step is required only for multi tenant environment). ii. Install Argus Insight 7.0 application (in multi tenant mode if Argus Safety is installed in multi tenant mode). iii. Create the enterprise in Argus Insight iv. Run the Migration Utility for that enterprise. v. Run the Initial ETL.The Migration Utility supports copying the entire Argus Insight specific configuration (including Case Series Freezing data) from a single tenant Argus Insight 5.1 application to Argus Insight 7.0 single/multi tenant application after setting an Enterprise ID. It is possible to set an appropriate Enterprise ID during the configuration copy. User-specific configuration data is copied only for those users in an enterprise who also exists in Argus Safety for that enterprise. Existing customers should configure the User Roles section.

Global Profile switches cannot be updated by the migration utility.

Product Compatibility

This version of Insight is compatible with the following products:

• Argus Safety 7.0

• Argus Safety 6.0*

• Argus Safety 5.1*

Note: The versions listed with the asterisk (*) denote that they are available for only single-tenant installations. Therefore, multi-tenant features such as Global Enterprise Management and Global User Management are available only from Argus Safety 7.0 onwards.

Note: For Argus Safety 5.1 and 6.0, Argus Insight users will sync up with Argus Safety users after the Incremental ETL is completed.

This version of Insight has also been tested for SSL compatibility.

Copy Configuration

The Copy Configuration utility copies the entire Argus Insight-specific configuration from a single-tenant Argus Insight 5.1 application to a multi-tenant Argus Insight 7.0 application, after setting an Enterprise ID. The Enterprise ID can be created during the Copy Configuration phase.

The utility copies all the enterprise data from one Multi-tenant enterprise to another multi-tenant enterprise in Argus Insight, including the ones which are marked as 'Inactive'.

Migrating Custom Reports to Argus Insight 7.0 is a manual step.

You can Import configuration information from the following Insight versions and export it to Argus Insight 7.0 through the Copy Configuration utility:

• Argus Safety 5.1 and 6.0 users in single-tenant environment can be upgraded to either the Argus Insight 7.0 Multi-tenant environment or to the Argus Insight 7.0 Single-tenant environment.

  For such upgrades, a pre-requisite is to first ensure that the Argus Safety application is upgraded to version 7.0.

• A password-encryption utility is also available for user migration from Argus Insight 5.1 to Argus Insight 7.0.

Upgrading to the Argus Insight 7.0 Multi-tenant Environment

Execute the following steps to upgrade to Argus Insight 7.0:

• Upgrade your current Argus Safety application to the Argus Safety 7.0 Multi-tenant environment.

• Install the Argus Insight 7.0 application in Multi-tenant mode.

• Create the enterprise in Argus Insight.

• Run the Copy Configuration utility for that enterprise.

• Run the Initial ETL.

Exporting the Configuration Data to Argus Insight 7.0

You can import all the Configuration Data from the following Argus Insight versions and export them to Argus Insight 7.0:

• Single tenant to single tenant.

• Multi-tenant to multi-tenant - All the enterprises data is copied including the enterprises which are marked "Inactive".

• Source enterprises are mapped to target enterprises based on enterprise short name.

• User-specific configuration data is copied only for those users in an enterprise who exist in Argus Safety as well for that enterprise.

• Configuration of those Enterprises which does not exist in Target system is not brought-in.

• Configuration of additional enterprise that exists in Target system is not overwritten.
