Upgrade Analytics Extension from an Earlier Release
When you upgrade
Analytics Extension as a component during an Analytics Server installation upgrade, 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. |
Upgrading Analytics Builder
There is no special preparation needed in Analytics Builder before an upgrade. However, when the upgrade is complete, you will need to reconfigure Analytics Builder to communicate with a specific AnalyticsServer Thing in ThingWorx Foundation. To configure this connection, see
Configure Communication Settings in Analytics Builder.
