Running an in-place upgrade

You can run an in-place upgrade from an InForm 6.2.x.x, 6.3, or 6.3.1.x release. For all other releases, you must first migrate to a 6.2.x.x release.

  1. Upgrade the Central Designer rules engine.
  2. Back up the InForm study and admin databases and files for the in-place upgrade.
  3. Update the InForm application server software.
  4. Update the database parameters.
  5. Uninstall the Cognos MSI files.
  6. Deploy the SQL profiles.
  7. Run the in-place upgrade.
  8. Enable network access rights for automated deployments on the InForm application server.
  9. Create new database objects for the review schema (Optional).
  10. Start the InForm study and server.
  11. Upgrade all integration applications.

If the in-place upgrade fails for any reason, use the backup files you created in Step 2 to restore your InForm 6.2.x.x, 6.3, or 6.3.1.x environment. For more information, see Restore an InForm 6.2.x.x, 6.3, or 6.3.1.x release.
