Upgrading the samples

If you use the samples in IBM® Planning Analytics Local version 2.0.0 or higher and you want to keep any updates that you made to them, follow these steps as part of the upgrade to a new version of IBM Planning Analytics Local.

About this task

Important: Follow these steps only if you want to carry your existing samples database forward with the upgrade. If you don't need to keep your samples database, then upgrade IBM Planning Analytics Local as described in Upgrading from Planning Analytics version 2.0.0.

Procedure

  1. Before you start the upgrade of Planning Analytics Local, back up the following files.
    • The \PA_installation_location\tm1\samples\tm1\PlanSamp\Tm1s.cfg file.
    • The sample databases that you use, located in \PA_installation_location\tm1\samples\tm1.
  2. After you finish the upgrade of IBM Planning Analytics Local, merge the Tm1s.cfg backup file with the newly installed Tm1s.cfg. When you merge the files, overwrite the values in the newly installed file with the values from the backup file.
  3. Put the merged Tm1s.cfg file into the new installation location in \tm1_location\tm1\samples\tm1\PlanSamp\.
  4. Copy the samples files that you backed up to the samples installation location in \tm1_location\tm1\samples\tm1\.
