Upgrading from 2.x.x to 3.x.x
Overview of the upgrade process
Migrating from 2.x.x to 3.x.x requires a particular attention as 3.x.x introduces major improvements and changes.
A complete migration wizard included in the application has been developed to help users to migrate.
Please refer to the installation and migration parts of the reference documentation which explain everything.
We also highly recommend to have a look at the release notes for an overview of what have changed.
Upgrading from 2.x.x to 2.x.x
Overview of the upgrade process
- Make a backup of your Analytics WebappHome directory
- Make a backup of your Analytics installation (or make sure you can reinstall your current version)

What do you mean by "open and save your analytics repositories" ?
Thanks
Long answer: do not use an existing webapp home with an older version of Analytics! The idea is to have your new version running under a different Port, and set a STAMBIA_WEBAPP_HOME_ variable pointing to a new directory location.
We'll write an article on this subject soon.
Do we need to copy it back?

what is "WebappHome directory" please?
