Before upgrading your Precise installation, be sure to review this topic as well as the following topics:
This document describes the procedure when upgrading to Precise 9.7.0. You must first upgrade to version 9.6.0, 9.6.1, 9.6.2, 9.6.3, or 9.6.4 before attempting to upgrade to version 9.7.0.
Therefore, if you are upgrading from an earlier Precise installation, see the relevant Upgrade Guide, or if you are installing Precise 9.7.0 on a clean system, see instead the Precise Installation Guide.
About the upgrade to Precise 9.7.0
Updating to Precise 9.7.0 both updates the existing Precise Framework and agents and replaces the previously existing Precise system, while preserving the previously captured monitored data. As a result, the upgrade process involves downtime of the Precise product.
To ensure an efficient and successful upgrade process, verify that you read about and implement the preparations for the update, as they appear in Planning the upgrade.
Once all preparations have been completed, perform the update, as detailed in Performing the upgrade.
Changes in the Precise for Web logic
In version 9.6.1, we made changes in Precise for Web logic with regard to the Collector settings. They were changed from Domain related to Instance and Cluster related.
During the conversion, we analyzed per instance the usage of each domain and applied the existing settings based on the results. This process may have resulted in the loss of some non-recently used domain settings for that specific instance.
The default parameter settings after the update for all instances and clusters is Parameter name only regardless of the previous definitions.
The maximum amount of entries in the Exceptions table is 15.
Changes in the Precise for Web configuration
In version 9.6.1, the User-defined configuration changed. We no longer support User Defined 1 and User Defined 2. If you defined them in a previous version and you want to keep using them, you may need to redefine the User Defined 1 and 2 as User Defined Transaction Name. It is also possible that the definition can no longer be used.
Changes in supported platforms
In version 9.6.1, Precise for Tuxedo is no longer supported. If you start the update process and Precise for Tuxedo is detected, you get the following error message:
You have Precise for Tuxedo configured for the environments below
Uninstall Precise for Tuxedo from the following environments:
Uninstall Precise for Tuxedo in the indicated environments and restart the update or refrain from upgrading to Precise 9.6.1 or later.
