ArcGIS GeoEvent Server 11.2 is provided as a setup program and is executed through a utility named Setup.exe.
Prepare to upgrade GeoEvent Server
The GeoEvent Server setup program is designed to detect and upgrade an existing installation of GeoEvent Server on the target system.
Hinweis:
Do not uninstall an existing version of ArcGIS GeoEvent Server before installing the new version of GeoEvent Server. Instead, run the GeoEvent Server setup program to upgrade your existing GeoEvent Server configuration to the new version.
Before upgrading to a new version of GeoEvent Server, it is recommended that you export your GeoEvent Serverconfiguration using ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager and back up any installed or added components. The components are added to the following folder: <ArcGIS Server installation directory>\GeoEvent\deploy.
Hinweis:
When upgrading from a 10.x version to GeoEvent Server 11.2, your existing GeoEvent Server site configuration is not automatically upgraded during the installation. You need to manually import your configuration file after successful completion of the upgrade. An additional step has been added to the installation wizard for you to acknowledge this change. For more information about exporting and importing your GeoEvent Server site configuration, see Back up and restore your GeoEvent Server site configuration.
Before upgrading to a new version of ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS GeoEvent Server, it is recommended that you stop the ArcGIS GeoEvent Server and ArcGIS GeoEvent Gateway Windows services and set their Startup type property to Manual. This ensures that GeoEvent Serverdoes not get into an unsupported state with mismatched software releases on the same machine. Once the upgrade of ArcGIS Server and GeoEvent Server has completed successfully, set the ArcGIS GeoEvent Server and ArcGIS GeoEvent Gateway Windows services Startup type property back to Automatic, the default type.
For any custom components you have developed, including connectors and processors, you may need to modify the code, release numbers, and configurations and then rebuild with the appropriate version of the GeoEvent Server software development kit (SDK). For more information, see If I have custom components (connectors or processors) deployed, do I need to recompile them against the latest GeoEvent Server SDK when upgrading? below.
Upgrade GeoEvent Server
To upgrade GeoEvent Server, upgrade ArcGIS Server first and then GeoEvent Server using the Setup.exe file for each product. If you want to upgrade GeoEvent Server silently, see Install GeoEvent Server silently.
Common software upgrade questions
This section addresses common questions about the upgrade of GeoEvent Server.
Do I need to uninstall a previous version of GeoEvent Server before installing the new version?
No. If you already have an existing version of GeoEvent Server installed, the setup automatically upgrades it to the new version without any additional configuration.
Do I need to back up anything before installing the new version of GeoEvent Server?
Yes. It is recommended that you back up your GeoEvent Server configuration as well as your added components.
To back up your GeoEvent Server site configuration, use GeoEvent Manager to export your configuration as a configuration file. For details, see Back up and restore your GeoEvent Server site configuration.

To back up your added components, back up the content from the following folder: <ArcGIS Server installation directory>\GeoEvent\deploy.
If I upgrade to a new version of ArcGIS Server, do I need to upgrade to GeoEvent Server?
Yes. The release of GeoEvent Server must match ArcGIS Server. You cannot run mismatched releases of the software on the same machine.
If I have custom components (connectors or processors) deployed, do I need to recompile them against the latest GeoEvent Server SDK when upgrading?
With any GeoEvent Server release, there may be important updates to back-end libraries and dependencies that may require custom components (connectors and processors) that were developed and deployed in a previous release of GeoEvent Server to be recompiled using the GeoEvent Server SDK being installed. Before deploying a custom component built against a previous release's SDK to a production environment, ensure that it works as expected.
If a custom component deploys correctly, no further action is needed. If the custom component does not deploy correctly, recompile against the release of the GeoEvent Server SDK being installed.
