Upgrading reports

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 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. This chapter describes how to upgrade and configure the other reporting components.

Upgrade scenarios

If you are upgrading an IBM® EMM application from a pre-7.5.1 version, there is no upgrade path for reporting. Instead, see Installation roadmap.

If you are upgrading an IBM® EMM application from the 7.5.1 version, complete the steps that are described in the following topics:

Upgrade prerequisites

Upgrading reports from version 7.5.1

Because there is no upgrade path for eMessage from version 7.5.x to versions 8.x and later, there is also no upgrade path for the eMessage reports.

If you are upgrading an IBM® EMM application from an 8.x or a 9.x version, complete the steps that are described in the following topics:

Upgrade prerequisites

Upgrading the 8.x or 9.x model and installing new reports

For eMessage, the following upgrade paths are supported:

From version 8.6.0.4 or later fix packs to version 9.1

From version 9.0 or later fix packs to version 9.1

If you have customized your eMessage reports, you will have less report customization work if you upgrade to 9.0 rather than 8.6.0.4 or later fix packs.

If you are using eMessage with Oracle or IBM DB2, you must use materialized views.
