How do I upgrade IntelliFront BI from 32-bit to 64-bit?

This is a step by step to upgrade IntelliFront BI 32 bit to IntelliFront BI 64 bit.

 

IntelliFront 64Bit cannot co exist with CRD, which is a 32Bit application.  CRD will stop working if IntelliFront 64Bit is installed on the same server.

Before Upgrading...

  • Please make sure you are using a 64-bit Operating System.
  • Recreate all the ODBC DSNs in use by IntelliFront BI datasets in the 64-bit ODBC DSN Administrator 
  • Recreate all the ODBC DSNs used by your Crystal Reports in the 64-bit ODBC DSN Administrator
