Summary: step-by-step instructions for upgrading to the new release of CAST AIP. Unless otherwise specified, CAST Server Manager must be run from the new release of CAST AIP. |
Run the CAST Server Manager tool from the new release of CAST AIP in the Windows Start menu (you can also find it in the CAST AIP installation folder - called servman.exe): The Open Server Connection Profile dialog will then be displayed allowing you to connect to the RDBMS server hosting the CAST AIP schemas you wish to upgrade. A connection profile to a CAST Storage Service will be available in the dialog box if, during the installation of the new release of CAST AIP, a CAST Storage Service was detected on the current workstation:
Select the profile you require and click Open |
This step describes the upgrade process for upgrading:
Note that this step must be repeated for each Management Service schema and associated items that you would like to upgrade. |
Open CAST Server Manager as detailed in Step 1. CAST Server Manager displays all the upgradable Combined Installations located on the host RDBMS under the Combined Installations (Out-of-date) node. In the image below, the highlighted set of CAST AIP schemas (installed as part of a Combined Installation) has "Upgrades Available", indicating that they can be upgraded:
Logs and error numbersAll logs associated with the combined schema installation upgrade are stored in the following location by default:
The following section lists the error numbers that may be returned when attempting to run the upgrade:

CAST provides a dedicated batch file that can automate the upgrade of a combined installation including AIP core and extensions. You can find out more about this in Automating the CAST AIP Upgrade process. Ensure you have read Preparing for upgrade and completed any required actions before using the batch file. |
This step describes the upgrade process for upgrading the Measurement Service schema used with the Health Dashboard.
Note that a CAST AIP Measurement Service schema can be identified by the value "Measurement Base for General purpose" in the column "Installed Product". If the Measurement Service schema was installed as part of a Combined Installation (with other CAST AIP schemas), the schema name will end with "_measure". |
