Important Upgrade Considerations
Be aware of the following before upgrading:
- 5.x Policy Servers cannot communicate with 6.x policy stores.
- 6.x Policy Servers can use 5.x policy stores.
- 5.x Web Agents can communicate with 5.x and 6.x Policy Servers
- To avoid possible policy store corruption, be sure that the server on which the policy store resides is configured to store objects in UTF-8 form. For more information about configuring your server to store objects in UTF-8 form, see the documentation for that server.
