High-level upgrade procedure

This topic provides the recommended order for upgrading to version 2.2.x.

The upgrade process assumes you need to install Latitude components on dedicated servers. Because of this, the upgrade process references installation instructions for each component, and does not utilize the Latitude All-in-One Installer. The All-in-One installer is intended for single-server development environments only, and should be used with the Quick Start project.

The upgrade process includes separate upgrade procedures for the MDEX Engine, Latitude Data Integrator and Latitude Studio. In addition, as part of the upgrade, you need to make changes to the existing pre-upgrade graphs so that you can run these graphs in LDI after the upgrade, and load data and configuration to the MDEX Engine index.

The following procedure provides high-level steps for the entire upgrade process. See the individual topics in this section for detailed instructions in each step.

To upgrade to Latitude release version 2.2.x:

Upgrade the MDEX Engine. As a result of this step, you should have the MDEX Engine installed, started and provisioned. Note that after this step, the MDEX Engine index is empty.
Upgrade the Latitude Data Integrator Designer. As a result of this step, you should have the LDI Designer installed and pointing to the workspace you used for Latitude graphs before the upgrade.

Note: Do not run any existing graphs in LDI before you make changes to them.
In LDI, make changes to the graphs you have created in the previous release.
Run the upgraded graphs.
Upgrade Latitude Studio.
