Platform Installation Instructions

This hotfix should be applied on top of MicroStrategy 10.4.0 GA (10.4.0026.0049), 10.4.0 Hotfix 1 (10.4.0100.0013), 10.4.0 Hotfix 2 (10.4.0200.0034), 10.4.0 Hotfix 3 (10.4.0300.0050), or 10.4.0 Hotfix 4 (10.4.0400.0740)

  1. Stop any of the MicroStrategy Servers running on the target machine
  2. Close any MicrStrategy Products running on the target machine

While the product suite is certified to be compatible between hot fix releases, it is recommended to keep the hot fix versions same across the environment.

Depending on the target operating system, run the installation routine below as a root user

  • setup.exe for Windows
  • setupHF.sh for AIX
  • setupHF.sh for Solaris
  • setupHF.sh for Linux

Note: In order to ensure that your MicroStrategy Web ASP.Net deployment runs with the proper version of the sys_definitions.xml and sys_defaults.xml files after this upgrade, the setup will back up and delete the existing version of these files. If you have manually changed some values in any of these files, you will need to re-apply these changes after new files get dispensed upon restarting the application.

Command line to launch the hotfix install in completely silent mode

\\\Setup.exe -L0009 --ResponseFile="C:\HFResponse.ini" -s -f1"C:\HFsetup.iss"

 

Several enhancements and fixes have been implemented to ensure Enterprise Manager is returning accurate metric calculations and object definitions. To take full advantage of your upgraded version of Enterprise Manager, be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Updating the Enterprise Manger Project section of the MicroStrategy Upgrade Guide.
