In an n-tier setup, RiskVision is distributed to multiple servers. To ensure a successful upgrade, select the most appropriate scenario in the the "Deployment Scenarios" section, then follow the instructions specific to that scenario.
Deployment Scenarios
Scenario for two-tier: Case A
| Host A | Host B |
|---|---|
Apache Web Server | RiskVision Report Server |
RiskVision Tomcat Application Server | |
Database (MySQL or Oracle) |
Upgrade steps for two-tier: Case A
| When | Map |
|---|---|
| 7.5.x, 8.0, 8.5x, 9.0 to 9.1 | Step 1: Download the new files required for upgrade. See Downloading New Files. Step 2: Oracle Database Upgrade. Ignore this step if you are using a MySQL database. Step 3: Back up the database. For MySQL, see Backing up the MySQL Database. If you're using an Oracle database, ask your database administrator to perform the back up. Step 4: Backing up the RiskVision Configuration. Step 5: Preparing for an Upgrade. Step 6: On Host A, run the RiskVision Upgrade Installer by selecting the Web Server (Apache HTTP Server), Application Server (Apache Tomcat) and Database Server (MySQL or Oracle Database) components. Step 7: On Host B, run the RiskVision Upgrade Installer, by selecting the Report Server (TIBCO Jasper-Reports Server) component. Step 8: Customization Upgrade Note. Step 9: Replacing and Reverting the MySQL Configuration - perform this step if you are using a MySQL database. Setting up the Oracle Database - perform this step if you are using an Oracle database. |
