Follow the steps below to upgrade an existing Sitecore CMS and DMS 6.6.0 installation to Sitecore CMS and DMS 6.6.0 rev. 130404 (Update-5):

  1. Back up the site.
  2. If you have Sitecore Analytics installed, upgrade the DMS database schema:
    • SQL Server: Execute the DMS660_U5_BeforeInstall.sql script on your Sitecore Analytics database.
    • Oracle: Execute Oracle_DMS660_U5_BeforeInstall.bat. Please refer to the Oracle-specific instructions at the bottom of this page.
  3. Make sure that the IIS is configured to allow access to the /sitecore/admin folder. Otherwise the next step might display a blank page instead of the Update Installation Wizard.
  4. Open the Update Installation Wizard by entering the following URL in your browser: http://<hostname>/sitecore/admin/UpdateInstallationWizard.html
    See the Update Installation Wizard Guide for more information about how to use the wizard.
  5. Install the Sitecore CMS 6.6.0 rev. 130404 update package using the wizard:
    1. Upload the update package using the wizard.
    2. Analyze the package.
    3. Install the package.
  6. Due to the known issue that can be encountered in Sitecore CMS 6.6 Update-5, you must perform all the steps described in the known issue after you have installed the update package.
    • Wait for the conversion of profile values to finish before you continue with the upgrade process.
  7. If you have enabled Sitecore MVC in your solution, copy the most recent versions of the MVC DLLs from the /bin_Net4 folder to the /bin folder
  8. Update your configuration files.
    1. Clear your browser's cache. For instance, in Internet Explorer this is done via the menu Tools » Internet Options » Browsing History » Delete » Delete Temporary Internet Files.
    2. Rebuild your search indexes for the "Quick search index" (also for the master and core databases if you have such indexes) and rebuild the link database for the master and the core databases. You can do this using the wizards available on the Sitecore desktop: Sitecore » Control Panel » Database.
    3. If you are using client languages other than English, download and import the latest translations from the Client Translations page on SDN.
    4. Delete the <webroot>/temp/dictionary.dat file to regenerate the Dictionary (only necessary if any of your editors use other client languages than English).
    5. Publish the entire site (including system items, templates etc.) to every publishing target you have. To do it run Sitecore » Publish Site dialog. The "Republish" option is recommended. 
    6. Check if any installed modules needs to be upgraded to a newer version to be compatible with Sitecore CMS 6.6.

    Instructions for upgrading the Analytics database schema of Oracle databases

    You will need the following files:

    The UpgradeDMS660_oracle.zip file contains two files:

    Upgrade steps for the Analytics database:

    1. Extract the SQL script and the batch file from the zip archive.
    2. Copy the SQL script and the batch file to the Database Server (or to the PC where the administration tools for the Oracle database are installed and set up).
    3. By default, the upgrade scripts will process one user schema: scanalytics (the actual name depends on the value of the PREFIX environment variable).
      • If your user schema name is different or if you have additional Sitecore user schemas, modify the batch file as necessary (but do not add the core, master and web schemas – they use a different database schema and should not be upgraded).
    4. Shut down Sitecore.
    5. Back up your Sitecore schemas.
    6. Upgrade your DMS database schema.
      • In System Properties/Advanced/Environment Variables set up user-level variables as follows:
        • DATABASE = The name of the database instance that hosts the Sitecore data.
        • PASSWORD = Password for the system user of the Oracle instance.
        • PREFIX = Prefix for the Sitecore DMS user schema and its password (default value: 'sc').
          • Notice that user password is expected to be the same as the user name.
          • Launch Oracle_DMS660_U5_BeforeInstall.bat.
          • Review the output of the script for errors.
          • Remove the DATABASE, PASSWORD and PREFIX variables from the environment.
    7. Start Sitecore.
    8. Continue with the CMS 6.6.0 upgrade procedure as described above.
