Upgrade Analytics Extension from an Earlier Release
When you upgrade Analytics Extension as a component of the Analytics Server installer, a warning message displays. When this message occurs, you must restart your ThingWorx server. The Analytics Extension zip file is placed into a queue and is imported from the queue after you restart your ThingWorx server. For more information about this process, see the Upgrading Java-backed Extensions section of Importing Extension in the ThingWorx Help Center.

If Analytics Extension is installed and you want to upgrade from ThingWorx 8.3 to any later version, you will need to uninstall the Analytics Manager files before the upgrade. For information, see Remove the Extension. To save any data files, follow the steps in the Before Removing Analytics Manager section.
