How to install BIRT iHub system
1 Shut down the BIRT iServer Release 11 system by performing the following tasks:
1 Log on to Configuration Console. In the Simple view, choose Stop system. Log out of Configuration Console.
2 Open Windows Services and perform the following tasks:
1 Right-click Actuate 11 BIRT iServer service and choose Properties.
2 On Actuate 11 BIRT iServer Properties—General, in Startup type, select Manual to disable automatic startup, then choose Stop to stop the service. Choose OK.
3 If using the embedded OOTB PostgreSQL RDBMS, select Actuate 11 PostgreSQL for BIRT iServer service, then choose Stop the service to shut it down.
It is not necessary to shut down the service for an alternative RDBMS, such as DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or a pre-existing PostgreSQL system.
2 Install a stand‑alone BIRT iHub system that uses the embedded OOTB PostgreSQL RDBMS. Install the embedded OOTB PostgreSQL RDBMS to listen at a port different from the existing RDBMS used in the BIRT iServer Release 11 installation.
When installing BIRT iHub, use the same system name as the previous BIRT iServer Release 11 installation. iHub inserts this name into the names it creates for the Encyclopedia volume schema and the iHub system schema. Additionally, iHub assigns this name to the default Encyclopedia volume. For information on how to install a stand‑alone BIRT iHub system, refer to
Chapter 2, “Installing BIRT iHub,” earlier in this book.
The following procedure describes step-by-step how to perform the manual operations required to complete the migration of Release 11 BIRT iServer to BIRT iHub.
