After you upgrade to the latest version of Insight, you must complete additional tasks.
Installing data source patches
If applicable, you should install the latest patches available for your data sources to take advantage of the latest features and enhancements. After uploading a data source patch, you can install it on all of the data sources of the same type.
Replacing a certificate after upgrading OnCommand Insight
Opening the OnCommand Insight web UI after an upgrade results in a certification warning. The warning message is displayed because a valid self-signed certificate is not available after the upgrade. To prevent the warning message from being displayed in the future, you can install a valid self-signed certificate to replace the original certificate.
Increasing Cognos memory
Before you restore the Data Warehouse database, you should increase the Java allocation for Cognos from 768 MB to 2048 MB to decrease report generation time.
Restoring the Data Warehouse database
When you back up the Data Warehouse database, Data Warehouse creates a .zip file that you can later use to restore that same database.
Restoring custom Data Warehouse reports
If applicable, you can manually restore any custom reports you backed up before the upgrade; however, you only need to do this if you lose reports of if they have become corrupted.
Restoring the performance archive
For systems that perform performance archiving, the upgrade process only restores seven days of archive data. You can restore the remaining archive data after the upgrade is competed.
Testing the connectors
After you upgrade, you want to test the connectors to ensure that you have a connection from the OnCommand Insight Data Warehouse to the OnCommand Insight server.
Verifying the Extract, Transform, and Load scheduling
After you upgrade, you should ensure that the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process is retrieving data from the OnCommand Insight databases, transforming the data, and saving it into the data marts.
Updating disk models
After upgrading, you should have any updated disk models; however, if for some reason Insight failed to discover new disk models, you can manually update them.
