Upgrading reports

You can upgrade your current version of IBM® EMM reports to bring it up-to-date with the latest features.

In IBM EMM, reporting is one of the components that is provided by the Marketing Platform.

When you upgrade, the installer and database scripts also upgrade the reporting feature, retaining the configuration settings for the Campaign and Interact reporting schemas.
