Installing TM1 FP1

[mcguija]

I'm running 9.5.2.

I have an app server and web server.

I installed FP1 on the app server no problems. I then installed on the web server and it created a new 'tm1web' folder, it renamed the old one to 'tm1web.1'. Is this normal?? This is a real bummer because i had to reapply some config. changes I did, for example in web.config.

Please let me know if this is normal behavior??

Thanks!

It is normal behavior because of the different nature of the upgrade. On the server the contents of the install directory is updated and this is completely separate from your data, so there is no issue. In the web your customizations are stored in the same directory so they cannot just assume to overwrite the entire folder. The web config is the biggest reason for this. The config file has hard code DLL version numbers (a function of ASP not TM1) that more then likely changed with any changes to API Tm1 Web uses. If TM1 were to use your old config file you would most likely see TM1Web erroring because it could not find matching DLLs in the bin directory.

Thanks George, your reply makes sense. More work for me, but makes sense.

It's an even bigger pain when you apply hotfixes as, with these being loose file copies, you have to remember to take a copy of the web.config yourself. I make a point of taking a copy every time I apply a hotfix and after I re-apply my customisations.
