Configuring after upgrade

This topic describes the tasks that you need to perform after upgrading BMC Decision Support for Server Automation.

Complete the following tasks after you upgrade.

  1. The authentication configuration settings are removed during upgrades. If you have implemented an authentication mechanism (other than SRP) before upgrade, implement it again. 
  2. If you have upgraded on a discontinued operating system, import your custom reports that you exported before starting the upgrade process.
    You can import custom reports by using the import utility available in Content Administration in IBM Cognos Administration (see IBM Cognos Administration and Security Guide at PDFs).

  3. Back up the recently installed configuration files and ensure they are not in the same directory.

    Tip

    If you made any custom configuration change in any of the customized files (described in the Backing up your files section on the Preparing-for-upgrade page) then merge those changes into recently installed configuration files.

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

  5. Ensure that you have upgraded to one of the following BMC Server Automation versions that are supported with the current version of BMC Decision Support for Server Automation:
