Upgrading from Previous Location Intelligence Module Version
Prior to upgrading, you should backup your data definition directory which stores all of the property files
that have the data source information. This folder is located in the %install_home%/server/modules/spatial/data
directory.
Any data located inside of the existing Spectrum Technology Platform installation directory will be deleted
after upgrade. If data is located in these directories, backup any data and copy to the same location in
the Spectrum Technology Platform 8.0 directories once upgraded.
Upgrading from Previous MapInfo Spatial Server Version
When upgrading, the installer will create a backup of the previously installed MapInfo Spatial Server repository.
This backup is located in the %install_home%\server\app\repository\backup\spatial
directory.
Permissions set on named resources in the repository will not get migrated to the new version. All named
resource will have default permissions after upgrade. The admin user will have full permissions, and all
other users will have read only permissions.
Client Installer Consolidation
In previous releases there were three separate installers for Enterprise Designer, Management Console,
and Interactive Driver. With this release, there is now one installer that installs all three. You can choose
which clients to install during the installation process.
Note:
You must uninstall your current clients before installing the 8.0 clients.
Operating System Patches
Before installing Spectrum Technology Platform, be sure to apply all the latest patches and updates
available for your operating system, especially those that fix issues with Java.
If you use the Data Normalization Module database load utility on HP-UX, be sure that you have applied
the HP-UX 11.31: PHSS_37202 update in order to avoid an issue.
Reverse Geocoding Database Upgrade
If you use Reverse Geocode US Location, you must rebuild the reverse geocoding database after upgrading.
To do this, delete your existing .gsx files then run the batchind utility. For more information, see
"Installing Enterprise Geocoding Module Databases" in the Spectrum Technology Platform Installation
Guide.
RDI Database Update
If you are upgrading from a previous release and use the Universal Addressing Module to perform residential
delivery indicator (RDI) processing, you must re-install the RDI database using the database installer
included with this release. RDI processing will not work unless you re-install the RDI database.
For instructions on installing the RDI database, see the Spectrum Technology Platform Installation
Guide.
