Changes in 8.1 That May Affect Your Upgrade

• Users are able to upgrade from 8.0 Compact to 8.1 Compact using samedb and newdb.
• Users are able to upgrade from 8.0 Split to 8.1 Split using samedb and newdb.
• Users will not be able to upgrade:
  • From 8.0 Compact to 8.1 Split.
  • From 8.0 Split to 8.1 Compact.

If users need 8.1 Split installations but they are on 8.0 Compact, the required upgrade path is to:

1. Upgrade 8.0 Compact to 8.1 Compact.
2. Then, migrate from 8.1 Compact to 8.1 Split.

For more information on these installation options, see the Installation and Upgrade guides.

Newdb Upgrade Note

Currently, the js-upgrade-newdb.sh/bat script does not import the access, audit, monitoring data when upgrading.

However, once the upgrade process has completed, you can use the JRS UI - Import page to reimport the JRS export file that was passed in with the newdb script and select the checkboxes for including access, audit, and monitoring data. Once this import is completed, then the access, audit, monitoring data exist in the new database/release.
