The Pre-Upgrade Analyzer has been updated for version 10.15. This release includes some bug fixes, improved UI, and some new reports. It analyzes your custom Integration Server packages, compares them to the new release, and generates reports that list the following:
Integration Server - 10.7-10.15
AIX, Linux, macOS, Solaris, Windows
To use the analyzer:
WxPreUpgradeAnalyzer.zip (18.5 MB)
Remarks: The analyzer might not support analysis of very large installations. Note that this package uses Apache POI which, on some Linux distributions, requires the ‘fontconfig’ package to be installed.

Hi Kiran. The analyzer only looks at enabled packages. As for packages that don’t show in the admin page, the only reason I can think of is that the packages failed to load, in which caser they cannot be analyzed.
Hi Engin SARLAK,
I Renamed the temp folder to WxPreUpgradeAnalyzer and I see tool under solutions.
However, wanted to confirm one more.
Hi Team,
I am downloading the WxPreUpgradeAnalyzer.zip package for upgrade analysis for version 10.3 to 10.15. So, wanted to use the analyzer tool. However, when I click on the download option on the above to download package. The package is downloading like temp.zp. After unzip I see folder with temp only, I done see any folder with WxPreUpgradeAnalyzer.
Is this expected
fontconfig is a Linux package. On Ubuntu, for example, you would install it using this command: sudo apt-get install fontconfig
Install fontconfig on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install fontconfig (devmanuals.net)
what is fontconfig ? is this the library that need to download and install from website ?
Thank you Holger and Theo for your prompt response.
This is why I suggested that the name of this tool should be Post-Upgrade Analyzer or maybe Post-Upgrade Review. One has to upgrade first, as noted in steps 1 and 2 of the instructions, then run the checks to determine what needs attention.
Holger is correct. The analyzer is designed to run on the target version. Also, due to dependencies on internal Integration Server code, it is only compatible with version 10.7 or higher. Best regards, Theo
Hi Sai,
as far as I understood, it should be run on the new, target version. 10.11 in this case.
Regards, Holger
Hi Experts,
We are doing upgrade from 10.5 to 10.11.
As per the instructions mentioned in the “Download and Installation: To use the analyzer” point no: 2.
So, do we need to run the WxPreUpgrade Analyzer in new server 10.11 or have to run in the old server 10.5.
Please confirm.
Regards, Sai Pradeep.
we have installed the fontconfig package in the linux machine and rebooted the IS later it started working for us
Can some one let me know how to resolve Custom Assets that Depend on Deprecated Built-in Services report could not be created due to java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException in WxPreUpgradeAnalyzer.excel.pub.sheet:sheetAutoFitColumns. this issue
An InvocationTargetException is an exception that wraps another exception . You can check the full stacktrace to see the actual error here.

Hi Venkat,
I would try debugging it and checking where it fails. It looks like some of the parameters in the json files are not passed to the service. Try turning off file permissions check from the server watt settings or directly check if getFile service can read the json files used by the package.
For any report, getting the following error. What am I missing? I did update the fileAccessControl file with permissions.
report could not be created due to java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException in WxPreUpgradeAnalyzer.excel.pub.sheet:sheetAutoFitColumns.
An interesting tool but should it be called “Post-upgrade analyzer?” One has to install 10.11 and put everything to it first, then run the checks.
Hi Syed. Thanks for the feedback. I will work on fixes.
Hi @Theodore_Ezell1
There are a lot of missing services that have been changed that are not included in this 10.11 version. For example pub.flatFile:convertToValues is not included which has been changed.
Also, the WxPreUpgradeAnalyzer.util:isSameOrHigherVersion fails with arrayOutofBound exception when comparing strings with longer version numbers. For example, version in 10.11.0.0 is compared with 6.5 which is in your changedServices.json file.
This version should work for upgrades to 10.7 and 10.11. It’s the target version that matters.
Hi Atli,
this will be a 2-Step approach. See links below the article above. There is one version of the Analyzer covering upgrades from 9.7 up to 10.7 and another one (the one this article is about) for upgrades from 10.7 to 10.11.
Hey and thanks for a brilliant solution!
I just wanted to clear; Does this tool only support upgrading from 10.7 to 10.11 or does it cover all supported upgrade paths for 10.11?
I ask because this tool is referenced in SOFTWARE AG UPGRADE PREPARATION AND PLANNING GUIDE 10.11, and does not mention a certain upgrade path.
Regards Atli
