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  libIntroscopeNativeDataAPI.so

And this gets replaced with this version 

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 1565894  libIntroscopeNativeDataAPI.so

and the following additional older libraries are also installed

-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root   181856  libapr-1.so.0
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root   998920 libboost_regex-mt.so.5
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root 16037384 libicudata.so.42
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root  1663232  libicui18n.so.42
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root  1378920  libicuuc.so.42
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root root 22270105  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.
