Step 3: Upgrading Certification Manager to 10.3.0

Note: These scenarios are supported for upgrade. However, switching from one scenario to the other is not supported; for example, SSL to non-SSL and vice versa.
  • SSL
  • Non-SSL
  • Default Website
  • Non Default Website

The upgrade wizard copies all the files and folders required for upgrade to your server and creates the upgrade framework folder Certification Manager Upgrade Framework on the path specified during Upgrade Framework installation. The Inventories folder containing all supported product inventory is also copied under at the specified Upgrade Framework install path.

Perform the product upgrade as follows:

  1. Before proceeding with Upgrade Wizard, complete the following steps on Report Server:
    • Apply the patch as mentioned in the KB 2028222.
    • Complete these steps on the Report server:
      • Go to report server (user having Server Administrator rights) and stop the SQL Reporting Service.
      • Copy the file Approva.SSRS.ResourcesEx.dll, Infor.ReportHelper.dll and the Approva.ReportingServices.CSVWithoutReportFormatRendering.dll from [InstallPath]\Inventories\PlatformServices\Assembly\MSSSRS\RDLLocalization to the [MicrosoftSQL Server InstallPath]\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin folder on the Reporting server.
      • Start the SQL Reporting Service.
      • Warm up the report server by accessing the reporting service from the browser http://REPORTSERVERNAME/ReportServer. This will help load all necessary infrastructure of reportserver and the upgrade will save some time during report publishing.

  2. To access the SQL database, the user must be either a Windows or a SQL user with the sysadmin role.
    • SQL Server authentication – if you are using the SQL authentication option, specify the user with sysadmin rights to access the SQL database server
    • Windows authentication – If you select this option, provide the User Name and password of the user with sysadmin rights on the SQL database server.
