Upgrade ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise

To upgrade the ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise base deployment, do the following:

  1. Upgrade the base deployment by doing either of the following:
    • If you installed a base deployment using the ArcGIS Enterprise Builder, you can upgrade the base deployment to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 using the builder.
    • If you did not install a base deployment using the ArcGIS Enterprise Builder, upgrade the individual software components.
  2. Upgrade ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App.

    The version of Business Analyst Web App must always match the version of Portal for ArcGIS you're using. See the compatibility matrix for more information. The setup is installed on the machine with Portal for ArcGIS.

    To upgrade ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App, do the following:

    1. Download the latest version of Business Analyst Web App setup from the 11.2 downloads on Business Analyst Web App. For more information, see Installing Business Analyst Web App.
    2. Remove the existing version of Business Analyst Web App from the machine where the Portal for ArcGIS is installed.
    3. Install the 11.2 setup.

      Business Analyst Web App is provided as a setup program named ArcGIS_Business_Analyst_Web_App_version*.exe.

    4. Update the redirect URLs. For more information, see Update Redirect URLs.
  3. To upgrade the ArcGIS Server site where the GeoEnrichment Server is installed, do the following:
    1. Upgrade the ArcGIS Server site to 11.2. For more information, see Upgrade ArcGIS Server.
    2. Upgrade the ArcGIS Web Adaptor to 11.2. For more information, see Install ArcGIS Web Adaptor.
  4. Upgrade the GeoEnrichment Server.

    Note:
    GeoEnrichment Server is provided as a setup program named ArcGIS_GeoEnrichment_Server_Windows_version*.exe.

    To upgrade the GeoEnrichment Server, do the following:

    1. Double-click setup.exe to run the GeoEnrichment Server install application.

      The GeoEnrichment Server welcome page appears.

    2. Click Next.

      Review and accept the Esri Master Agreement.

    3. Click Next.

      The install utility appears. It shows the location where files will be overwritten.

    4. Click Next.

      The Specify GeoEnrichment Data Store Account window appears.

      The GeoEnrichment Data Store account name, used by your existing installation, is pre-populated in the ArcGIS Server Account input box.

    5. Enter your password by doing any of the following:

      • Provide the password for the ArcGIS Server account. Typically, this is the password you defined when installing the software.

      • If the password has changed since you installed the software--for example, by using the Configure ArcGIS Server Account Utility, you will need to provide the password you designated when modifying the account.

      • If the password is not validated, an error message appears indicating that the password is invalid. If you are unsure of the password for the ArcGIS Server account, contact your system administrator or reset your password using the Configure ArcGIS Server Account Utility. For more information, see The ArcGIS Server account.

    6. To select a configuration setting, choose one of the following options:
      Note:

      You may want to export a server configuration file to create the same ArcGIS Server account when installing on multiple machines, store the account for use when upgrading to a newer version, or perform a silent installation where the username and password are encrypted.

      • Click the I have a configuration file with the account information generated by a previous run of this setup option to use the same credentials in the server configuration file with the credentials used by your existing ArcGIS Server site.

      • Click the Specify the account name and password option to manually enter the ArcGIS Server account information in the Export account configuration file dialog.

      • Click Next and accept the default Do not export configuration file option if you do not want to export a configuration file.

      • Click Next and click Export configuration file if you want to export a server configuration file for future installations. Browse to a secure folder and provide a name for the configuration file.

      Note:

      When exporting a server configuration file to a network share, the Local System account on the machine, where ArcGIS Server is being installed, must have write permissions to the network share. For example, if you're installing ArcGIS Server on a machine named Quick, the Local System account on Quick must have write permission to the network share.

      If the permissions are not set, the server configuration file may not export successfully.

      If you're unsure how to correctly set permissions for the network share, contact your system administrator or export the server configuration file locally and copy it to the network share.

    7. Click Install to install the GeoEnrichment Server software.

      GeoEnrichment Server installs on your machine.

    8. Click Next when the install is complete.

      The GeoEnrichment Server successfully upgrades.

      Note:

      The GeoEnrichment Server Environment Configuration Utility should launch automatically, but if necessary, open the application from the Windows Start menu.

    9. Click Finish to close the GeoEnrichment Server install application.

      The GeoEnrichment Server Environment Configuration Utility dialog appears.

  5. Use the GeoEnrichment Server Environment Configuration Utility by doing the following:
    1. Click Next on the GeoEnrichment Server Configuration Utility welcome page.
    2. Enter the credentials for the portal administrator.
    3. Click Next.

      The GeoEnrichment Server environment is ready to be upgraded.

    4. Click Upgrade.

      As the GeoEnrichment Server environment upgrades, a status bar and additional details are made available to track the progress.

    5. Click Next once completed.

      The GeoEnrichment Server environment successfully upgrades.

    6. Click Finish.
    7. Optionally, check the Run the data management tools to install data packs check box to manage data using the GeoEnrichment Data Management Utility.
  6. Post upgrade steps.

    Some server-side features may not be enabled unless the USA data is removed and added again using the data management wizard. Two examples of this are the ability to find similar variables in the data browser and the interesting facts infographic panels. Removing and adding the data is not required as part of the upgrade but the two features mentioned above may not be enabled otherwise.
