Campaign upgrade scenarios
You can upgrade IBM® Campaign to version 9.1 from versions 8.5.x.x, 8.6.x.x, or 9.x. If you have any other version of Campaign installed, you must first install Campaign v8.6, and then upgrade to Campaign v9.1.
The following table provides information about that tasks that you must complete to install Campaign 9.1 if you currently have a version of Campaign that is other than 8.5.x.x, 8.6.x.x, or 9.x.

Important notes for eMessage users
Complete the following steps to install Campaign v8.6, and then upgrade to Campaign v9.1:
1.
Complete the steps in the IBM® Campaign Installation Guide v8.6 in a new location.
2.
Run the data migration scripts that are supplied with Campaign v8.6. For details, see the IBM® Campaign Data Migration Guide v8.6.
1.
Complete an in-place installation of Campaign v8.6 over your source version (unless you are also using eMessage 7.x). Select the same location as your current installation, so the installer automatically runs in upgrade mode. For details, see the IBM® Campaign Installation Guide v8.6.
2.
Run the 8.6 upgrade tool (Campaign_Home/tools/migration/5.1+To8.6/acUpgradeTool). For details, see the IBM® Campaign Installation Guide v8.6.
3.
Reporting in these versions of Campaign was provided by Affinium Reports (versions 7.0.x through 7.2.x). There is no upgrade path from Affinium Reports 7.2.1 to reporting in v8.6. Therefore, after upgrading from these versions, you must configure your new reports as explained in the IBM® Marketing Platform Installation Guide v8.6.
If you are using eMessage 7.x with Campaign 7.x, do not perform an in-place upgrade. You must keep eMessage 7.x and perform a new installation of Campaign v8.6 in a different location.
Carefully follow the instructions for eMessage upgrades in the IBM® Campaign Installation Guide v8.6.
