Running Upgrade Advisor (User Interface)

You can run Upgrade Advisor to analyze local or remote components during upgrade planning. Upgrade Advisor produces a report for each component and instance that is analyzed.

Important

Upgrade Advisor does not analyze remote instances of [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion]. To analyze an instance of [!INCLUDEssRS], Upgrade Advisor must be installed on the computer where [!INCLUDEssRS] is installed.

To analyze [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Integration Services, you must have the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion][!INCLUDEssDE] installed and [!INCLUDEssISnoversion] installed on the same computer.

Running the Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard

Running the Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard has six steps:

  1. Launch the wizard from the Upgrade Advisor start page.

  2. Identify server and components to analyze.

  3. Gather authentication information.

  4. Gather additional parameters based on component type.

  5. Analyze selected components.

  6. Generate report of upgrade issues.

For more information about the Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard, see How to: Run the Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard.

For specific information that is required for each step, see Upgrade Advisor User Interface Reference.

You use the Upgrade Advisor Report Viewer to view reports generated by the Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard. When the report is loaded, you can filter the components of the report by the following factors:

  • All issues

  • All upgrade issues

  • Pre-upgrade issues

  • All migration issues

  • Resolved issues

  • Unresolved issues

For step-by-step instructions for using the report viewer, see the following topics:
