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).

Required Hot Fixes Before Upgrade on Linux

Valid on Linux

Symptom:

After I upgraded the Enterprise Management Server on Linux, I noticed that the effective and assigned policies on the HNODE objects were not upgraded and that commands was missing.

Solution:

During upgrade of  the DMS or DH databases the procedure exports the current database (using 'dbmgr -export') into a selang command file which is then imported by the new version.

Due to a defect that was introduced in a previous fix the assigned and effective policies on the HNODE objects (in the case there is more than one policy assigned to  the HNODE) are not exported. The result is information loss and the new database is not updated properly during upgrade.

To resolve the issue you must be apply the corresponding hot fixes before before you upgrade to CA ControlMinder 12.8:

You can find the hot fixes in the following link.

12.8 Enterprise Management Server Requires 12.8 Distribution Servers

If you upgrade the Enterprise Management server to 12.8, you must also upgrade its Distribution Servers to 12.8.

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.

Requirements for Upgrading from 12.6 to 12.8

In case your Enterprise Management environment includes Distribution Server hosts, perform the following steps before upgrading to release 12.8:

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Enterprise Management database.
  2. Browse to table the named ENDPOINT.
  3. Look into the FRIENDLY_NAME column and verify that the Distribution Server host name is not duplicated.

    If the host name is duplicated, delete one of the two rows.

Enterprise Management Server Upgrade Fails to Preserve Tasks Assigned to the Built-in Roles

When you upgrade the Enterprise Management Server, the upgrade fails to preserve the tasks that you assign to the built-in roles. With an upgrade, you can preserve the configurations of the custom roles, and only the membership policies of the built-in roles.

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:
