The process for installing the new version of IBM®
Cognos® Controller is the same as for a new
installation.
Before you begin
We recommend that you install the new components in the
same location from which you uninstalled the older version. Ensure
that you have uninstalled the older version first. If you want to
keep the older version running until you switch over to the new version,
you can install the new version on a separate computer. For more information,
see Upgrading to a New Server.
We recommend that you perform a trial upgrade several weeks before upgrading your production
system.
Procedure
- Launch the Cognos Controller
installation wizard by double-clicking the /Controller installer package download
location/winx64h/issetup.exe file.
The
Welcome page of the installation wizard
displays.
- In the Welcome page of the installation wizard, click
Next.
- Accept the licensing agreement and then click Next.
- Select the installation directory and then click Next.
If you receive a warning that you are installing to the same location as a previous installation,
click Yes if you want to install in the same location, click
No and then ensure that you select the correct directory if you do not want
to install in the same location. This warning protects other IBM
Cognos products from being overwritten.
- Follow the directions in the installation wizard to copy the same components to your
computer that were installed for the older version.
- In the Finish page of the installation wizard, choose whether to
start IBM
Cognos Configuration or view the Release Notes and then click
Finish.
