Title: Upgrade process
Post by: cognostechie on 03 Nov 2017 05:40:55 PM
Hi All -

I couldn't find any topic which talks about the process and issues experienced during upgrade so starting one.

I have upgraded versions from 8.x to 10.x many times and the process was to install, configure and then upload Content Store DB. Is the process still the same? Any issues found in installation and/or configuration? Any process to be followed?

I might be posting this early as I haven't even downloaded 11x and haven't seen the documentation yet but thought to post it to get tips from others. 

Thanks a lot !

Also, if anybody knows the part numbers for Framework Manager, Transformer and Dynamic Cubes? I was able to find the part number only for Administrator (CJ1V1ML). Thanks for the difficult site IBM has made, can't find the part number even if search by the name.

Ok, found the part number - CNN6EML for FM and CNL5CML for Transformer. Both ver 11.0.8.  In case anybody needs it.

Cant find the documentation though. Doesn't come in PDF like in earlier versions. Found an HTML item in
installation folder/webcontent/documentation but when I click on that , it asks for sign in and when try to sign in then screen goes blank.

Does anybody have PDFs? or a link that works for documentation?
