Using the Pentaho Upgrade Installer

The Pentaho Upgrade Installer is a step-by-step user interface that opens and guides you through the upgrade process. If you are upgrading in an environment that does not support the display of a graphical interface, then you may want to upgrade in silent mode from a command line. For more information, see Using the Pentaho Upgrade Installer in console or silent mode.

The documentation guides you through the following process:

1. The Pentaho Upgrade Installer checks your environment to ensure your earlier Pentaho products are compatible for upgrade.

2. In separate files, you identify which items from the default Pentaho installation you have customized so that the upgrade installer can determine how to address these items.

3. The Pentaho Upgrade Installer creates a backup of your earlier Pentaho products in case you prefer to restore them later, then installs the Pentaho 9.3 versions of the products found during the environment check.
