Upgrading

Before you begin

Updating from an earlier version requires updating the data schema as well. The operator must access the BigFix Compliance Analytics web interface from the server hosting BigFix Compliance Analytics. Click Upgrade Schema.

Note:

Before you start the upgrade process, it is strongly recommended that you perform server and database back-up.

About this task

When upgrading from earlier versions of BigFix Compliance Analytics, the installer replaces the previously supplied server certificate and private key pair with a new self-signed certificate and key pair.

Note: BigFix Compliance version 1.5.78 is the minimum version required to upgrade to BigFix Compliance 1.8 and BigFix Compliance 1.9. Refer to the following table for the upgrade steps required for the different BigFix Compliance Analytics version.
