Upgrading WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Analyst Edition

New tracks for WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Analyst Edition (AE) require fresh installations. As a result, any previous versions of WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE must be completely uninstalled.

Note: The WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE installer does not prevent an upgrade existing installation option from being selected. As a result, unsupported issues can occur, since the installer attempts to automatically perform an uninstallation and reinstallation.

When uninstalling older versions of WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE, any files that have been added, modified, or customized since the original installation will be left behind. Nevertheless, it is recommended to create a backup of these files beforehand. Examples of these files include any projects saved in the WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE Workbench, projects published to the WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE Server, or changes to the web.config properties file. Once the installation of the new version of WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE Version is complete, all of the backed up files can be returned. Files that were modified or customized, such as the web.config properties file, would require any changes to be manually reapplied to the new instance of that file.
