Application Server changed from Microsoft IIS/IIS Express to NodeJS
Pre-Sisense V7.2
You had the option to install Microsoft IIS or IIS Express as the Sisense application server.
You had the option to install Microsoft IIS or IIS Express silently by editing the PrismFeature.XML files.
You could write server side IIS-based plugins.
Sisense V7.2
The web application server is configured automatically, and you do not have to specify it for the silent installation.NodeJS is used as the application server, and IIS is used for minimal functionality. IIS Express is no longer supported.
See the following:
Installing Sisense
IIS-based server side add-ons will no longer work as expected and will need to be rewritten.
Migrating Sisense
Pre-Sisense V7.2
You had to copy and modified multiple configuration files to the new environment.
The following were the files that needed to be copied:
%ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\ECMNext\GraphQL\src\config\default.yaml
%ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\vnext\config\default.yaml
%ProgramFiles%\Sisense\Infra\MongoDB\mongodbconfig.conf
%ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\App_Data\Configurations\db.config
Sisense V7.2
You need to copy several directories to the new environment.
These directories include:
%ProgramData%\Sisense\PrismWeb\Repository
%ProgramData%\Sisense\Infra
Delete an identifier value from your application database.
See the following:
Sisense Migration
Backing Up Sisense
Pre-Sisense V7.2
You had to back up multiple configuration files.
The following were the files that needed to be backed up:
%ProgramFiles%\Prism\ECMLogsPersistence\src\config\default.yaml
%ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\SisenseStorage\config\default.yaml
See the following:
Backing Up Sisense
Sisense V7.2
You need to back upseveral directories.
These directories include:

Logs
Pre-Sisense V7.2
The location of Application log files was:
%ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\vnext\iisnode
Sisense V7.2
The location of Application log files was moved to:
%ProgramFiles%\Sisense\application-logs
SSL
Pre-Sisense V7.2
You had to configure SSL through IIS and the Sisense System Settings located in the Admin page.The SSL certificate was installed on the IIS.
Sisense V7.2
You can enable and configure SSL through the Configuration Manager.If you have already set up SSL in an earlier version, you must upload the SSL certificate again.
See the following:

Rebranding Sisense Automated Emails
Pre-Sisense V7.2
The location of Sisense's email templates was %ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\vnext\src\features\emails\templates .
See the following:
Rebranding Sisense Automated Emails in Windows
Sisense V7.2
The location of the Email Templates directory has been changed from %ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\vnext\src\features\emails\templates to %ProgramFiles%\Sisense\app\galaxy-service\src\features\emails\templates .
Templates located in the old folder are automatically migrated to the new location when you install Sisense V7.2. For newer templates, the files should be moved to %ProgramFiles%\Sisense\PrismWeb\Resources\branding\emails .
See the following:

Sisense V7.1
If you are upgrading from Sisense V7.0 or later, there are no special requirements.
If you are upgrading from a version earlier than Sisense V6.7, see the Sisense V6.7 Upgrade Guide. .
If you have a high availability environment, and you want to use the web-based ElastiCube Manager, your build node must have a Sisense application server installed on it. The application server must use the system application database’s replica set.
