Before You Upgrade

Consider the following before you upgrade the Report Server:

• You upgrade the Report Server using the installation media on the Technical Support site.

  Note: For a list of installation media names based on operating system, see the installation and upgrade considerations in the Policy Server Release Notes.

• Important! The installation zip contains multiple folders. The installer executable requires this folder structure. If you moved the Report Server installer after extracting the zip, copy the entire folder structure to the same location. Execute the installation media from this folder structure.
• Important! (UNIX) Depending on your permissions, you may need to add executable permissions to the directory that contains the installation media by running the following:

  chmod -R+x directory
  

  • directory

    Specifies the directory that contains the Report Server installation media.

• (UNIX) If you execute the Report Server installer across different subnets, it can crash. Run the Report Server installer directly on the host system.
