To configure after upgrading

Complete the steps after you upgrade.

  1. Check your Authentication Service settings and manually replace the settings if they are missing.
     Authentication Service settings are sometimes removed during upgrades. In particular, this occurs with LDAP settings.
  2. Restore your customized files or custom settings in files (some possible customized files are described in the Back up your files section of the Before-you-upgrade page).
  3. Run the Report Administration Utility gencred command to renew credentials.
    For information about using the Report Administration Utility and the gencred command, see Report-Administration-Utility-commands.

  4. For Inventory reporting, install the templates included with the Content Installer (if applicable).
    For more information about downloading and installing the templates, see Installing-Inventory-templates-and-other-scripts.

    Notes

    • (If you are using BSARA reports scripts and if you have upgraded to version 8.3 from version 8.2 SP2, SP3, or SP4) After running the Content Installer for 8.3, delete the BSARA Report Scripts 8.1.0.15 folder, if it exists.
    • When you upgrade to version 8.3, the templates existing in the earlier version are overwritten by the new templates.
    • For versions 8.2 and later, Inventory reporting is based on the Hardware Information custom objects, instead of extended objects. BMC recommends that you delete the os_config.nsh script from the fileServerName/storage/extended_objects directory of BMC Server Automation, if it exists. Additionally, delete the os_config.nsh-based configuration extended objects (for example, Uptime, a Windows extended object) by using the BMC Server Automation Administration console.

  5. Run the ETL process to transfer data from all sites to the reports warehouse (see Running-ETL).

    By default, you cannot see data for the following assets in the Inventory reports. To see the data, enable the assets after the first ETL run. For more information, see Enabling-Inventory-assets.

    • File System
    • Registry
    • .NET Assemblies
