Upgrading Analytics Engine
Note:  Before upgrading, always take a full backup of your installation so that you can revert back to the original state in case you encounter a problem during the upgrade.
To upgrade your Analytics Engine instance to a newer version, use one of these methods:
Linux:
• If using install.sh: Re-install over the existing installation. The setup scripts prompt you for upgrade options. Follow the procedure in How You Upgrade Using the Upgradedb Utility.
• If using RPM: Follow the procedure in How to Upgrade Using RPM.
Windows:
• Run the Analytics Engine Setup Wizard and select Upgrade existing instance.
Note:  After an upgrade, user created grants on objects in the imadb database will need to be redefined.
Stop the Instance and Management Server
Before upgrading, always stop your instance and the management server. Issue the following commands:
ingstop
ingstop -mgmtsvr
