To upgrade a deployment of i2 Analyze, you must first upgrade the deployment toolkit that you are using. You then use this upgraded toolkit to upgrade your deployment. The version of your current deployment determines exactly which path to follow.

  • If you are upgrading from i2 Analyze 4.3.1.0 or earlier, you must first upgrade your deployment to a supported version before upgrading to this release. The earliest supported version from which to upgrade to this release is 4.3.1.1.

    For further information on changes to supported versions, see Configuration and database changes.

  • If you are upgrading i2 Analyze version 4.3.1.1 or later, complete the instructions in Upgrading to i2 Analyze 4.4.1.

Note: From i2 Analyze version 4.3.3, the Analysis Repository, Intelligence Portal, and Onyx services are no longer supported. Deployments that contain an Analysis Repository should migrate data into another repository.
