Upgrading from previous versions of BlueCielo Publisher or Meridian Explorer

Upgrading from previous versions (before 2013) of BlueCielo Publisher or Meridian Explorer entails the phases that are performed in the following order:

1. If an existing Meridian Enterprise installation (before 2013 SP2) is one of the source systems, manually upgrade the Publisher extensions in the existing environment. The procedure for doing this is different depending on the Meridian Enterprise version. The following topics describe the procedures for the supported versions.
2. Import the existing BlueCielo Publisher and Meridian Explorer configuration settings into a new Meridian Enterprise Server configuration database as described in Upgrading a configuration database.
3. If Meridian Enterprise is one of the source systems, review and update if necessary, the Meridian Enterprise configuration as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Administrator's Guide.

Notes

• Meridian Enterprise Server 2014 and prior versions of BlueCielo Publisher or Meridian Explorer can exist side-by-side. They do not need to be uninstalled before installing Meridian Enterprise Server 2014 but you should ensure that no old jobs are running or scheduled. However, uninstalling the prior version can unregister components used by Meridian Enterprise Server. In that case, rerun the Meridian Enterprise Server setup program and select the Repair option.

• After upgrading, the Meridian Explorer repositories can no longer be used with the old application.
