Upgrade an r12.x Report Server

The simplest path to an r12.0 SP3 reporting environment is to uninstall the r12.x reporting components, and install and configure the r12.0 SP3 reporting components.

The Report Server uses data in the policy store and the 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 r12.0 SP3 report database is not necessary.

Complete the following process to install and configure the r12.0 SP3 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 r12.0 SP3 reporting, which includes:
   1. Installing the Report Server.
   2. Installing the SiteMinder report templates.
   3. Registering the Report Sever.
   4. Configuring connectivity between the Report Server and a SiteMinder audit database.

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