Server Component Upgrade Considerations

This section describes items you should consider when upgrading server components (the Enterprise Management Server, CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management, and Enterprise Reporting).

Upgrading Enterprise Management Server to r12.7 Does Not Preserve Roles and Tasks

When upgrading the Enterprise Management Server to 12.7, the roles and tasks that were created before upgrading are not preserved.

The Enterprise Management Server preserves only membership policies.

CA ControlMinder r12.6.01 Requires Hot Fix to Manage Policy Models on CA ControlMinder r12.5 and r12.0.01

If you are using CA ControlMinder 12.7 Server to manage policy models on CA ControlMinder r12.5 or r12.0.01 endpoints, then install the following hot fixes:

For r12.5 endpoint, install hot fix T537526
For r12.0.01 endpoint, install hot fix T537569

Note: For more information, contact CA Support at http://ca.com/support.

Software Patch Required to Deploy Policies on Endpoints

To deploy policies on CA ControlMinder r12.5 endpoints from CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management r12.6, you must install patch T537526 on the Enterprise Management Server.

Download the software patch from the CA Support website.

Enterprise Management UI Login Fails When Upgrading from CA ControlMinder 12.6SP1 or lower.

Symptom:

When I upgrade from CA ControlMinder 12.6SP1 or lower to 12.7 or higher, I am not able to log in to the Enterprise Management UI.

Solution:

Update the server.xml file in JBOSS (<<jboss-4.2.3.GA>>\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer) to enable the Enterprise Management UI login. Set the emptysessionpath attribute to True for all connector entries.
