Upgrade RPD

The following steps upgrades the Oracle Argus Analytics 8.2.1 RPD to the latest code in Oracle Argus Analytics 8.4.1.

Note:

If there have been no customizations to the existing AN RPD, you can skip this section, because the latest RPD is already present at <AN_INSTALL_HOME>/repository/opva.rpd.

To upgrade the Oracle Argus Analytics RPD (if required):

1. Open the existing Oracle Argus Analytics RPD file that you wish to upgrade to Oracle Argus Analytics 8.4.1 in the Oracle Analytics Administration Tool in offline mode.
2. Provide the repository password.
3. From the menu, select File > Merge.
4. Select the Full Repository Merge radio button.
5. Select the button to choose the Original Master Repository, and click Repository.
   This opens the file dialog window to choose a repository file.
6. Select the existing Oracle Argus Analytics RPD file.
7. Enter the repository password as opva123.
8. Similarly, select the button to choose the Modified Repository and click the Repository.
   This opens the file dialog window to choose a repository file.
9. Select the Oracle Argus Analytics 8.4.1 RPD file present at <AN_INSTALL_HOME>/repository/opva.rpd.
10. Enter the repository password as opva1234.
11. Provide a file name for the merged repository file to be saved.
12. Provide the merged repository password as opva1234.
13. Click Next.

    This generates the merged RPD, which is upgraded to the Oracle Argus Analytics 8.4.1 release.

14. Copy this file to another location and rename it back to opva.rpd, which will later be used to deploy on the Oracle Analytics Server.
