This document explains how to upgrade to Visualization Platform Release 3.1.1 from Visualization Platform 3 (including fix releases) or 3.1.

For assistance with migration to BIRT iHub 3.1.1 from Actuate BIRT iHub 2 or Actuate BIRT iServer, please contact Actuate Support.

The topics in this section explain the operations you perform in sequence to upgrade your existing Visualization Platform to Visualization Platform 3.1.1.

This upgrade procedure works for BIRT iHub installations that have multiple volumes, and that use any of the databases BIRT iHub supports:

You upgrade a BIRT iHub 3 (including fix releases) or BIRT iHub 3.1 installation to BIRT iHub 3.1.1 by performing an in-place upgrade. The upgrade program preserves any customizations you have made to your BIRT iHub installation. It does not overwrite the acserverconfig.xml, acpmdconfig.xml, or web.xml files.

To upgrade an iHub cluster, you must shut down the cluster and upgrade each node individually.

You cannot upgrade in place if you are running BIRT iHub F-Type or BIRT iHub Trial Edition. You must obtain a license from Actuate if you want to install BIRT iHub 3.1.1.
