This topic was edited by a BMC Contributor and has not been approved.  More information.


The Assisted MIGration Offering (AMIGO) checklist provides the steps needed to install/upgrade TrueSight Presentation Server, Remedy Single Sign On, TrueSight Infrastructure Management, and the Integration Service Node.

The checklist is comprised of material gathered from multiple resources, such as documentation, knowledge articles, webinars, and feedback from other customers.  The result is a definitive list of steps needed to efficiently and successfully install/upgrade TrueSight.

Should I upgrade or migrate?
  • TrueSight Infrastructure Management Customers: Can upgrade using the existing hardware provided sizing requirements are met or Migrate to new hardware.


Supported Remedy SSO versions with TrueSight Operations Management


TrueSight Presentation Server versions

TrueSight installer for Remedy SSO recommendations

  • The TrueSight installer for Remedy SSO is available for versions 11.0.00 and 11.3.01 only and 11.3.01 is that last version of the installer. There is no TrueSight installer for Remedy SSO 11.3.02 and later versions.
  • You can choose to install using the TrueSight installer for Remedy SSO version 11.3.01 and then upgrade to any of the supported versions of the Remedy SSO server using the Remedy SSO installer.
  • If you have installed and configured TrueSight installer for Remedy SSO (consolidated installer) version 11.0 or 11.3.01 and want to upgrade to Remedy SSO to 18.11 or later, BMC recommends you to use the Remedy SSO installer to upgrade.
  • Ensure that you have performed the steps mentioned in Best practices before upgrading Remedy SSO section before you upgrade to version 18.11 or later.
  • BMC does not provide any 3rd party product updates even if you have used the TrueSight installer for Remedy SSO to install Remedy SSO.
  • The Remedy SSO installer contains only the Remedy SSO Server and doesn't contain any prerequisite software, such as JRE, Tomcat or Databases.
  • BMC recommends you to start using the Remedy SSO installer to do a fresh install or upgrade of Remedy SSO. For more information, see Installing or Upgrading.



What's New and Changed in 11.3.04?

  • BMC self signed certificates have been updated in the 11.3.04 release. These new self signed certificates will be updated during the upgrade of each component.

This does not effect customers using their own private certificates.

If you are unable to upgrade all components at the same time, you will need to import the updated certificates to the components that have not yet been upgraded.

You can use the new tssh or pw certificate import commands referenced here:




Previous versions of TrueSight 10.x must be upgraded to at least 10.7 FP 3 before upgrading to 11.3.04
