This section presents the following options for upgrading BMC Analytics for Business Service Management (BMC Analytics for BSM). The procedures for each option vary, according to the version of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise that you use and whether you use a linked universe.
- If you use a linked universe, you can upgrade the product to replace the master universe. In that scenario, your customizations are maintained in your linked universe. You then perform an extra step to verify the link between the new master universe and your linked universe.
- If you do not use the linked universe feature, you must perform steps to ensure that your customizations are recorded, upgrade the product, then reapply your customizations. BMC recommends that you create a linked universe and apply your customizations to the linked universe so that you do not have to manually reapply the customizations for a future upgrade.
See the following sections for information about your upgrade options:
