Upgrading from version 8.6.0 with manual migration

The Unica Platform upgrade installer can perform all of the data migration that is required for an upgrade automatically. However, if the policy of your organization does not allow automatic migration, you must complete the migration procedure to upgrade Unica Platform manually.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following installers in the same directory.

  • The Unica master installer
  • The Unica Platform installer

To upgrade to Unica Platform version 12.1.7 manually, you must run SQL scripts and run some command line utilities to populate the system tables. Ensure that your installation of Unica Platform is fully functional so that you can run the utilities. Complete information about using these utilities, including example commands for common tasks, is available in the following topics.

The utilities are in the tools\bin directory under your Unica Platform installation.

See Unica Platform upgrade scenarios for information about upgrading from other versions.

Procedure

  1. Create a back-up copy of your Unica Platform system table database.
    Important: Do not skip this step. If the upgrade operation fails, you cannot roll back your database and your data is corrupted.
  2. Undeploy your Unica Platform deployment.
  3. Run the Unica master installer.
    The Unica master installer starts. Use the following instructions after theUnica master installer starts.
    • When the Unica master installer prompts you to choose an installation directory, choose the root installation directory, not the Unica Platform installation directory that is under this root directory.
    • When the Unica master installer prompts you to enter Unica Platform database connection information, enter the information that pertains to your current Unica Platform system tables.

    The Unica master installer pauses and starts the Unica Platform installer.

  4. Complete the following steps while the Unica Platform installer is running.
    1. When the Unica Platform installer prompts you for an installation directory, select the directory of your current Unica Platform installation, usually named Platform.
    2. Allow the installer to create a back-up copy of your previous installation of Unica Platform.
    3. If Contact Central is selected in component selection during installation, select database type.
    4. Provide Contact Central database connection details. Notes. By default only automatic database setup will be executed for Control Center.
    5. Select Manual database setup.
    6. Clear the Run Platform configuration check box.
    7. Follow the remaining steps in the installation wizard and enter the requested information.
  5. Run the following scripts against your system tables, where DB_Type is the database type.

  10. Use the alertConfigTool utility to register the Platform alerts and notifications, as follows.

    The alertConfigToolutility is in the tools\bin directory under your Unica Platform installation.

    Run this utility from the tools\bin directory. You reference the Platform_alerts_configuration.xml file, which is in the conf directory under your Unica Platform installation.

    Example command (Windows): alertConfigTool.bat -i -f C:\Unica\Platform\conf\Platform_alerts_configuration.xml

  11. Restart the web application server on which Unica Platform is deployed so the changes are applied.
  12. Complete the following steps to update the Help > About page.
    1. Use the configTool utility to export the Affinium | Manager | about category.
      Note: The Affinium | Manager | about category is not visible on the Configuration page because it is marked hidden.
      Example (Windows™):

      configTool.bat -x -p "Affinium|Manager|about" -f "C:\Unica\Platform\conf\about.xml"

    2. Edit the exported XML file that you just created (about.xml in the example) to change the version number and display name.

      Find the releaseNumber property and change the value to the current version of Unica Platform. Change the value of the copyright property to the appropriate copyright year.

      In the following example, change the release number from 8.6.0.0.0 to 12.1.7.0.0 and change the copyright to 2023.
      <property name="releaseNumber" type="string">
<displayNameKey>about.releaseNumber</displayNameKey>
<value>8.6.0.0.0.build_number</value>
</property>
<property id="541" name="copyright" type="string_property" width="40">
<value>2016</value>
</property>
    3. Use the configTool utility to import the revised file.

      You must use the -o option to overwrite the node. You must specify the parent node when you import.

      Example (Windows™):

      configTool.bat -vp -i -p "Affinium|Manager" -f "C:\Unica\Platform\conf\about.xml" -o

  13. Deploy and verify your installation as described in the Deploying Unica Platform.
