Performing Post-Upgrade Tasks

Perform the following post-upgrade task:

If you have 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 disable database replication before the upgrade, then enable replication after the upgrade.
If you had registered plug-ins with this AuthMinder installation before the upgrade, then recompile the plug-ins. Ensure that the names of the recompiled files are the same as before. Use the AuthMinder startup log that you had saved before the upgrade to determine details of the plug-ins.
If you require multi-byte character or internationalization support in AuthMinder and if your database does not currently support multi-byte data, then migrate the database to a character set that supports multi-byte data. For more information, see "Configuring Database Server" in the CA AuthMinder Installation and Deployment Guide for UNIX Platforms.

If your upgrade path is from 5.3.x or 5.4.x, then perform the following configurations using Administration Console.
