Upgrading

Previous versions of Logi reporting products were based on the .NET 1.x framework. Starting with version 8, the products use .NET 2.0. Therefore, when upgrading existing reporting applications to the latest version of Logi reporting products, the existing applications must be upgraded to .Net 2.0.

Figure 1.2: Logi Report Server Manager

To upgrade an existing reporting application, first use the Logi Server Manager. In it, simply select the Logi application(s), select the latest version from the Available Versions dropdown list, and click the Update Version… button.

You’ll also need to change the properties of your application’s virtual directory on the IIS server, using the IIS Manager utility (see next page).

Figure 1.3: IIS 6.0 web application Properties dialog box

To upgrade the web application in the IIS Manager, select and right-click its virtual directory and select Properties in the pop-up menu. Select the ASP.NET tab, and select the installed .NET 2.0 version as shown above. Click the Apply button.

If you plan to use both .NET 1.x and .NET 2.0 applications simultaneously, depending on the version of IIS you’re using (later than IIS 5.x), you may need to create Applications Pools to isolate them from one another. The LogiXML DevNet web site has information about how to implement Application Pools.
