Preface

This guide is for Simphony Cloud Services users and provides post-installation steps to perform after a fresh installation or upgrade to the Simphony 18.2 release. Beginning with the Simphony 2.9 release or later, users must install Reporting and Analytics (R&A) separately from Simphony using the Back Office R&A installation application. For upgrades from releases prior to Simphony 2.9, users must upgrade to Reporting and Analytics release 8.5.1 Patch 3 before installing or upgrading to Simphony release 2.9. Simphony release 18.2 is compatible with R&A releases 8.5.1 Patch 3 (for all-in-one installations), 9.0 Patch 8, and 9.1.
