Preparation
• Shut down Tomcat.
• Back up the BI Portal database.
Upgrade Steps for QAD BI Portal
1 Copy the TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\your_bi_appname directory to TOMCAT_HOME\your_bi_appname.save36 so that you have a backup of your BI 3.6 web application.
2 Unzip the new BI 3.7 Portal data.zip file into TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\your_bi_appname, overwriting any existing files with the newer version from the data.zip file. Your configuration files are not overwritten.
3 In SQL Server Management Studio, run the upgrade script: TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\your_bi_appname\install\sqlserver\v36tov37.sql.
4 Start Tomcat.
Note: If necessary, clear the user’s browser cache before reconnecting to the BI Portal to ensure that they are running the latest version of the application. Go to the Portal URL in the browser and click Refresh to make sure that the latest version of the application is loaded.
