Preparing for an App Visibility upgrade and checking compatibility
This topic describes compatibility consideration for upgrading Application Diagnostics to App Visibility. The current version can only be used with the Presentation Server (not the Application Management Console).
Consider the following version compatibility behaviors:
- Version of server and agents. You must upgrade all the server components (portal, all collectors, and portal) and agents. The server cannot manage agents from earlier versions.
Server version. You can upgrade the Application Diagnostics server components from version 2.6.x to the current version of App Visibility. For earlier versions of the server, upgrade to 2.6 before you upgrade to the current version.
- Agent version. You can upgrade Application Diagnostics agents from version 2.6 (for Java) or 2.5 (for .NET) or later.
- Out-of-the-box policy and configuration files. When you upgrade the server, all out-of-the-box policy files and configuration files are automatically upgraded , and the policies can work with the supported agents.
Customized policy and configuration files. When you upgrade the server, all customized policy files are merged with the upgraded files. Existing functionality and values are retained for earlier agents, and new functionality is added for upgraded agents.
