PerformancePoint Planning Server - Upgrading from CTP*
The PPS Operations Guide has a good procedure for upgrading from a pre-release version:

It's relatively straightforward to follow but if you want a quick heads up, see below:
- Backup all the databases, both server databases and all application staging databases
- Uninstall all the PPS binaries
- Re-install the PPS binaries selecting 'Distributed Installation' to allow you to unselect the PPS Database Installation
(You'll upgrade, keeping all applications/server config in place this way)
- Run ppscmd upgrade /server < PlanningServer URL > from the command prompt
(This upgrades the database schemas for all applications to the new version)
- Connect to the Administration console and 'Take online' the applications
It's a similar but simpler process for Monitoring Server too.
