If you are upgrading a distributed deployment of Reporting and Analysis, note that the distributed configuration is not automatically replicated in the upgrade as it was in earlier releases when you upgraded. You must set up the distributed configuration in the Release 11.1.2.1 environment. Use the Upgrading Checklist, but repeat the installation and configuration steps as needed, as described in the following procedure.
To configure a distributed deployment of Reporting and Analysis in an upgrade scenario:
Install and configure the first host. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, for the product database configuration, select Upgrade existing database to the current release from... and select a release number. Then, enter connection information for the existing or replicated database.
For a subsequent host that already existed in the previous deployment, install and configure the host. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, for the product database configuration, select Upgrade existing database to the current release from... and select a release number. Then, enter connection information for the existing or replicated database.
To add a host that did not exist in the previous deployment, install and configure on the new host. During configuration with EPM System Configurator, for the product database configuration, select Connect to a previously configured database. Then, enter connection information for the existing or replicated database.
