Perform Post-Upgrade Tasks

Perform the following post-upgrade task:

• If you had disabled the backup database, then enable it by editing the arcot/db/backupdb section of the %ARCOT_HOME%\conf\arcotcommon.ini file, and synchronize the backup database with the primary database. If you disabled database replication before the upgrade, then enable replication for the backup database after the upgrade.
• If you had registered plug-ins with this CA Strong Authentication installation before the upgrade, then recompile the plug-ins. Ensure that the names of the recompiled files are the same as before. Use the CA Strong Authentication startup log that you had saved before the upgrade to determine details of the plug-ins.
• If you require multibyte character or internationalization support in CA Strong Authentication and if your database does not currently support multibyte data, then migrate the database to a character set that supports multibyte data. For more information, see "Configuring Database Server" in the CA CA Strong Authentication Installation and Deployment Guide for Microsoft Windows.
