      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 

       

      Upgrading IntelliFront BI 32 bit to 64 bit

      To upgrade the latest build/version of IntelliFront BI, perform the following steps:

      Step 1

        • Open ODBC Data Sources (64-bit) in the Start menu. Recreate all the ODBC DSNs in use by IntelliFront BI datasets and Crystal Reports and click OK.
