Upgrade an r12.x Report Server

If you are using a Report Server version that is previous to r12.0 SP3 CR4, the simplest path to the 12.51 reporting environment is to uninstall the installed version, and then install and configure the 12.51 reporting components.

If you are using a Report Server r12.0 SP3 CR4 or higher, an upgrade is not required. However, if you want localized reports, you require the 12.51 reporting templates. So, run the 12.51 version of the Report Server Configuration Wizard for the reporting templates.

The Report Server uses data in the policy store and the CA SiteMinder® audit database to compile policy analysis and audit–based reports. The report database contains no information that these reports require. As a result, a migration from an r12.x report database to an 12.51 report database is not necessary.

Complete the following process to install and configure the 12.51 reporting components:

  1. (Optional) Export existing reports.

    Important! Existing reports are stored in the report database. If you require existing reports for historical purposes, use the Administrative UI to view the reports and export them to a temporary location. For more information about viewing reports, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.

  2. Delete the connection between Report Server and the Administrative UI.

    Note: For more information, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.

  3. Uninstall the r12.x Report Server.

    Note: For more information, see the r12 SP2 Policy Server Installation Guide. Uninstalling the Report Server does not remove the tables in the report database. Access the report database and remove all tables manually.

  4. Install and configure 12.51 reporting, which includes:
    1. Installing the Report Server.
    2. Installing the CA SiteMinder® report templates.
    3. Registering the Report Sever.
    4. Configuring connectivity between the Report Server and a CA SiteMinder® audit database.

    Note: For more information, see the Policy Server Installation Guide.
