Customers currently on Business Analyst Enterprise 10.7x or 10.8 and customers who are just getting started at 10.8.1 can skip this page. This topic describes how Business Analyst customers (pre-10.7) will migrate to the Business Analyst Enterprise solution and replace the legacy Business Analyst software with the new GeoEnrichment Server software.
Pre-10.7 customers using the legacy Business Analyst software will generally fall into one of the four migration scenarios below. For all the scenarios described below, it is encouraged to leverage access to additional server staging cores to test and evaluate the updated systems in a pre-production environment.
Existing Business Analyst customers using ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App on-premises
- Install, or upgrade, a 10.8.1 base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment
- Install, or upgrade, the Business Analyst 10.8.1 release version of ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App on the ArcGIS Enterprise portal machine.
- Uninstall original Business Analyst software and data, delete the DefaultMap service and demographic map services.
- Federate an additional 10.8.1 GIS Server to the ArcGIS Enterprise base deployment (if one does not already exist).
- Run the new GeoEnrichment Server setup on the federated server.
- Run the post-installation wizards to configure the GeoEnrichment Server environment and to install data to the server.
- Access the content and analytics of the updated GeoEnrichment service from the on-premises Business Analyst web app.
Existing Business Analyst customers using other apps supported by GeoEnrichment
This includes customers who are currently using other ready-to-use apps such as Business Analyst for ArcGIS Pro, the portal map viewer and its Enrich Layer analysis tool, and any custom apps or integrations.
- Install, or upgrade, a 10.8.1 base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment
- Install, or upgrade, the Business Analyst 10.8.1 release version of ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App on the ArcGIS Enterprise portal machine.
- Uninstall original Business Analyst software and data, delete the DefaultMap service and demographic map services.
- Federate an additional 10.8.1 GIS Server to the ArcGIS Enterprise base deployment (if one does not already exist).
- Run the new GeoEnrichment Server setup on the federated server.
- Run the post-installation wizards to configure the GeoEnrichment Server environment and to install data to the server.
- Access the content and analytics of the updated GeoEnrichment service from supported applications and integrations.
Existing Business Analyst customers with geoprocessing services and widgets
Customers who have published geoprocessing services with Business Analyst geoprocessing tools from ArcMap have two options at 10.8.1.
- Request a maintenance release of the Business Analyst software for 10.8.1 from Esri customer service. With this option, existing geoprocessing services published from Business Analyst 10.6x and prior can be maintained.
- Upgrade to the new GeoEnrichment Server software and republish the geoprocessing services from ArcGIS Pro. Starting at 10.7.1 tools from the Business Analyst toolbox in ArcGIS Pro can be shared as web tools.
Existing customers with custom applications/integrations that consume legacy Business Analyst REST service endpoints
The original Business Analyst software supports several legacy service endpoints that existed before the newer GeoEnrichment service endpoints were introduced at the Business Analyst 10.5 release. For example, the Business Analyst Spatial Overlay service endpoint is functionally equivalent to the newer Enrich service endpoint under GeoEnrichment.
Applications and custom integrations that consume these legacy endpoints are not ready to migrate to 10.8.1 without updating them to consume the newer equivalent service endpoints. Current Business Analyst customers who fall into this category should request a maintenance release of the Business Analyst software at 10.8.1 while they plan for and work on their application and integration updates.
