If you have Extended the Model and Reports

Before you begin

Note: In Sterling Warehouse Management System: Business Intelligence, Release 8.5, changes have been made to the Analytics Data Model in order to support Multischema onboarding. Therefore, if you have extended the Analytics Data Model in versions earlier to 8.5, it may not be compatible with the current version of the Analytics Data Model Release 8.5 or Release 9.1 or Release 9.3. Thus, after upgrading, you must redo the extension of the Analytics Data Model.

Procedure

  1. Upgrade to Cognos® 10 Business Intelligence 10.1.1.

    For more information about upgrading to Cognos 10 Business Intelligence 10.1.1 from Cognos 8x, refer the Cognos Documentation.

  2. Take a backup of the existing packages, and delete them. When you delete the existing packages, you lose the extension changes, and must redo them after upgrade.
  3. Install Sterling Warehouse Management System: Business Intelligence 9.3. Ensure that the new installation directory is different from the old Analytics installation directory.

    The new installation directory will be YNW_ANALYTICS_HOME. Refer to the old Analytics Installation directory as OLD_YNW_ANALYTICS_HOME.

  4. Deploy Sterling Warehouse Management System: Business Intelligence 9.3. After deploying, you will see the WMS-Analytics package in the Cognos Content Manager.
  5. Redo the Analytics Data Model extension. For more information about extending the Analytics Data Model, refer to the Overview of Business Intelligence.
