Dependencies
This patch requires the previous installation of TeamConnect Business Intelligence 6.1.3, including the installation of the Sisense Metadata plugin.
Note: The eCube does not need to be created with the original 6.1.3 code. However, the Sisense Metadata Plugin and the Remapping Tool from TeamConnect Business Intelligence 6.1.3 may be needed; follow the instructions in the 6.1.3 release notes for these tools.
Installation Instructions
This section contains a quick overview of the upgrade process. Each line links to specific instructions on how to perform the process.
NOTE: Dashboard owners MUST backup their existing dashboards prior to upgrade. Under normal upgrade processes, dashboard templates will persist and not have to be re-imported. The backup ensures that you do not lose your dashboards in the case that we encounter a unique scenario and the dashboards are deleted.
To upgrade TeamConnect Business Intelligence:
- Replace the ElastiCube build files with released version on build server.
- Create a backup of the Existing ElastiCube.
- Upgrade the ElastiCube.
Replacing ElastiCube Build Files
- Create a backup of the existing TeamConnect_BI directory by removing it from this directory, placing a copy in a different location, and changing the name of the copy (for example, TeamConnect_BI_backup). Make a note of the location of the autoCube.proproperties file. You will need the property values in this file.
- Extract the files from the TCBI_Install_Package.zip to the same the location of the original TeamConnect_BI directory.
Creating a Backup of the Existing ElastiCube
To backup your ElastiCube:
- In Windows Services, stop Sisense.ECMS.
- Open the PrismServer\ElasticubeData directory, typically located here:
%ProgramData%\Sisense\PrismServer\ElastiCubeData
Note: If the directory is not in this location, open the Sisense Server Console and click the
Server Preferences icon to verify the correct path. - Copy the data to your backup location.
Upgrading the ElastiCube
If upgrading from TeamConnect Business Intelligence 6.1.0 or older, new parameters have been added to the autoCube.properties file. Older versions might not be usable, depending on release version. Please check to ensure that there are no changes in parameters before reusing older properties files, or else null pointer issues can occur due to missing properties.
To update the ElastiCube:
- After creating a backup, uninstall the ElastiCube by running the TCBI_Uninstall.bat script from the original installation files.
- Check the log for any errors.
- Open the new autoCube.properties file with a text editor. Define the property values with the information from the previous installation, being careful not to erase any new properties.
- Run the updated TCBI_SchemaSync.bat as an administrator and check the log for any errors.
