Upgrading an Installation

If you are upgrading from an earlier version to the current version, use the following information to complete a successful installation:

  • TeamInspector automatically installs to the same installation path as your current installation.
  • User interface settings, such as customized views, filters, and other options, are persisted during an upgrade or reinstallation. To clear these settings, remove the TeamInspector cookie (localhost) in your browser settings.
  • If you are upgrading TeamInspector and plan to use Derby to store TeamInspector data, use the one-time migration script provided by TeamInspector to move the existing TeamInspector repository (tidb database) from the current location within TeamInspector (default location is %TEAM_INSPECTOR_HOME%\data) to the specified new location in your Derby installation. You must run the migration script before starting the TeamInspector installation. The migration script is currently provided for Microsoft Windows-hosted installations only. See Upgrading Your Installation Using the Derby Migration Utility in the next section for further instructions. Make sure the Derby Network Server is started on the database host before starting the TeamInspector installation to ensure that the connection to the data repository gets established during installation.
    Note: If you are upgrading your TeamInspector installation on a Linux host, contact a support representative for assistance in migrating your TeamInspector data before starting the installation.
  • If you are upgrading TeamInspector and plan to use an Oracle or a Microsoft SQL Server database to store data, you must first uninstall TeamInspector and then perform a new installation. Your database must already be set up and running before starting the TeamInspector installation so that you can specify the database or instance to use with TeamInspector.
