Analysis Center 3.0 or later introduces new components such as Admin Console and Reporting Center Components in addition to the existing components:
Admin Console: Lets you perform some of the administrative tasks, such as managing Data Sources, that you used to perform with Analysis Center Console. The functionality of NetIQ Analysis Center Administrator Utility is now available in Admin Console. If you run the Analysis Center 3.0 or later installer on a computer that has Analysis Center Console and NetIQ Analysis Center Administrator Utility installed, this Administrator Utility is removed. You must use Admin Console to perform administrative tasks that you previously performed using NetIQ Analysis Center Administrator Utility.
Data Warehouse: Upgrades the existing Data Warehouse and installs the NQRConfig database on the same SQL Server instance. The installer also lets you migrate existing reports from Analysis Center Console to Reporting Console.
Reporting Center Components: Includes the following NetIQ Reporting Center components:
Reporting Console: Installs a new console that lets you generate reports for which you previously used Analysis Center Console. NetIQ recommends that you use NetIQ Reporting Console instead of Analysis Center Console to generate reports.
Reporting Center Configuration Database: Installs the NQRConfig database, which stores report configuration information. This database is installed on the same SQL Instance where Data Warehouse is installed.
If you choose to install NetIQ Reporting Center on a computer from which NetIQ Reporting Center was previously uninstalled, the following message might get displayed:
An older version of NetIQ Reporting Center Database already exists.Do you want to upgrade to Reporting Center 2.1?
This is because the Reporting Center database still exists in SQL Server even after Reporting Center has been successfully uninstalled. Click Yes to upgrade the database or click No to retain the database.
Reporting Center Data Extension: Installs the Reporting Center Data Extension. If you previously installed Analysis Center Data Extension on versions of SQL Server prior to 2008, then the installer does not install the Reporting Center Data Extension. To install the Reporting Center Data Extension, run the installer on SQL Server 2008 or later.
Reporting Center Web Service: Installs the Reporting Center Web Service.
When you upgrade to Analysis Center 3.0 or later, the existing components are upgraded and new components are installed. For information about Analysis Center components post upgrade, see Section 6.5, Verifying Analysis Center Components Post Upgrade.
Depending on whether you installed Analysis Center components on a single computer or multiple computers, run the installer on the respective computers to accordingly upgrade the components. For more information about upgrading Analysis Center, see Section 6.4, Upgrading Analysis Center.
