REQUIREMENT: SMP 8.1 RU5 installed
HOW TO INSTALL THIS POINTFIX
- Retrieve files from the archive to the NS hard drive.
- Run as administrator PFinstaller2.EXE, click on ‘Install’ button
- During PF install “Backup” folder will be created in PF root folder with the copy of original files.
PF does not contain specific assemblies to replace; only SMA agent package (AeXNSC.exe) will be replaced with the new one in NSCap folder.
Note! It might take significant time until package will be updated on a package servers after it was replaced on SMP. It is recommended to ensure the SMA package is updated by upgrade/install SMA on a single computer before doing massive SMA upgrade/rollout. SMA version in this package is 8.1.5850.
4. Wait until PF install is completed; review PF install output in PF UI (PF will create log.txt in PF root location which might be used later for PF install process review)
5. SMA upgrade/install required to have the fix on agent sid e.
Note! SMA on Notification Server also need to be upgraded – this PF does not perform automatic SMA upgrade on NS.
THIS HOTFIX HAS THE FOLLOWING KNOWN ISSUES:
- Pull SMA install will use old SMA package even after the PF has been installed. To update the pull SMA package you will need to re-save the SMA package.
