Resolution

CCS 10.5 lets you upgrade the RMS data collection components and the reporting
and analytics components from the supported previous versions of the product.
You can also upgrade the ESM data collection components to the latest release
version for effective data collection by CCS 10.5.

You can upgrade the RMS data collection from the following release versions of
the Control Compliance Suite:
■ CCS 9.0.1
CCS 9.0.1 with any update
For example, CCS 9.0.1 with 2010 -1 Update.
■ CCS 10.0
■ CCS 10.0 with any update
For example, CCS 10.0 with 2010 -3 Update.

You can upgrade the Control Compliance Suite - Reporting and Analytics
components from the following release versions:
■ CCS 9.0.1
■ CCS 9.0.1 with any update
For example, CCS 9.0.1 with 2010 -1 Update.
■ CCS 10.0
■ CCS 10.0 with any update
For example, CCS 10.0 with 2010 -3 Update.

After you upgrade the reporting and analytics components, you can migrate the
databases such as CSM_DB, CSM_EvidenceDB, CSM_Reports to the latest database
schema. The new database schema adheres to the Unified Database Modeling
concept that is introduced in CCS 10.0. The migration of the databases can be
performed using the utility, CCS Data Migration utility. This utility is located in
the <installation directory>/Symantec/CCS/Reporting and Analytics/Application
Server folder of the installed product.

Note: After you upgrade to CCS 10.5, the ControlComplianceSuite.chm located in
the <installdir>\CCS\Reporting and Analytics\Documentation\Online Help
directory will not be available. The CCS 10.5 uses a new help system, Symantec
Help. You can access Symantec Help from the Help menu on the CCS Console
toolbar or by pressing F1 or the Help button from the application dialog boxes.

Upgrading the RMS data collection components

The RMS data collection components of CCS can be upgraded from CCS 9.0.1 and
later release versions to CCS 10.5. Before you upgrade to CCS 10.5, ensure that all
the bv-Control products that are installed in the environment are updated with
the same CCS Update. For example, if you have updated the bv-Control for
Windows snap-in with the 2010-1Update, then all other bv-Control products too
must be updated with the 2010-1 Update.
The RMS data collection components that you can upgrade are as follows:
■ RMS Information Server and Console
■ bv-Control for Windows
■ bv-Control for UNIX
■ bv-Control for Oracle
■ bv-Control for SQL
■ bv-Control for Microsoft Exchange
■ bv-Control for NDS eDirectory
■ bv-Control for NetWare

Note: The bv-Control for Internet Security and Network Mapper products cannot
be upgraded to CCS 10.5 through the supported upgrade path. If you want to get
the latest update of these products, then upgrade to the latest CCS 9.0.1 with
2010-2 Update.
For every bv-Control product that you upgrade, you must first upgrade the RMS
Information Server and Console.
You must upgrade the ECS and the Query Engines of the bv-Control for Windows
to the latest supported version. For the bv-Control for UNIX and the bv-Control
for Oracle products, you must upgrade the UNIX agents to the latest supported
versions.
The upgrade details of bv-Control for UNIX, bv-Control for Oracle, and bv-Control
for Windows are as follows:

To upgrade the ECS and Query Engines, you
