How to Upgrade a Client Server Encyclopedia

After completing the upgrade plan for your organization, you are ready to do the Client Server Encyclopedia (CSE) upgrade.

1. Before installing the new release, use the currently installed Client-Server Encyclopedia release and verify that there are no checked out models or subsets and that all models are in a schema the new release supports.

8. Install the new CA Gen release and run the following command:

   cse_config
   

9. Start the new CSE and run post-installation tests.
