Issue/Introduction

The installation of APM SSO 13.2.0 with policy server 12.8 SP03 on Linux replaces the libIntroscopeNativeDataAPI.so with an older version than is shipped with the Policy Server installation and also adds additional older dependent libraries 

The library installed with the policy server is

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 176632 Aug 31  2019 libIntroscopeNativeDataAPI.so

And this gets replaced with this version 

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 1565894 Aug 27  2018 libIntroscopeNativeDataAPI.so

and the following additional older libraries are also installed

-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root   181856 Aug 27  2018 libapr-1.so.0
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root   998920 Aug 27  2018 libboost_regex-mt.so.5
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root 16037384 Aug 27  2018 libicudata.so.42
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root  1663232 Aug 27  2018 libicui18n.so.42
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root  1378920 Aug 27  2018 libicuuc.so.42
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root 22270105 Aug 27  2018 libxerces-c-3.1.so

 

 

Environment

Release : 13.2

Component : APM Agents

Resolution

The apparent downgrading of the library libIntroscopeNativeDataAPI.so during the APM for SSO installation is not a problem. The library shipped with the SSO Policy Server is just a place holder and is not used by SSO itself. The version copied during the installation of APM for SSO is the version that needs to be used.
