Upgrading from Version 2.x

V3 is much easier to deal with than V2 was. The NLMs are named the same, but that is where the similarities end. Use the following procedure to remove V2:

1. Shutdown the V2 CONSLDAT NLM and remove the consolidator LOAD command (if present) from AUTOEXEC.NCF.

2. Shutdown the V2 AUDITLGN NLM on all servers and remove the LOAD AUDITLGN or NCF invocation commands from AUTOEXEC.NCF.

3. If desired, save your V2 auditing logs somewhere else.

4. Remove the entire V2 installation directory.

5. Follow the instructions for a "New Install" for V3.

Upgrading from Version 3.0

The name of the NCP extension has changed from 3.0, so you will need to upgrade AUDITLGN NLM on the servers as quickly as possible after upgrading the distribution and restarting the CONSLDAT NLM.

Perform the following steps:

1. Ensure that all servers running the AUDITLGN NLM are indicating that the consolidator NLM is up and communication is occurring correctly.

2. Expand the ZIP file into your 3.0 distribution directory on your consolidation server.

3. Re-load the consolidation NLM (CONSLDAT.NLM). On startup, it will perform all upgrade tasks necessary for V3.1 on the consolidation server.

4. Start the V3.1 Admin win32 application and click on "Parameters" and "Audited Servers..". Highlight all servers being audited and click on "Upgrade NLM".

5. Verify that the V3.1 AUDITLGN NLM is running correctly on all audited servers.

Upgrading from Version 3.1

Upgrading from Version 3.1 is very simple since there are no interoperability issues between the NLMs from version 3.1 to 3.2. Follow the normal process for applying maintenance to AuditLogin:

1. Unzip the 3.2 in the master directory on your consolidation server. (ex: SYS:AUDITLGN)

2. Restart CONSLDAT.NLM on the consolidation server.

3. Use the Windows Admin tool to distribute and restart AUDITLGN.NLM on all audited servers.
