ITLS 7.5 HF5 Need to know....


As many of you noticed ITMS 7.5 HF5 is now available via SIM. Some of you asked if we were aware of that the Release Notes were not present. Yes, we are aware of it and our CE team is working on getting an updated version of that doc published with the HF5 as soon as possible.

 

As well CE team discovered an issue that caused concerns in regarding releasing HF5 today. This issue is documented in eTrack 3471385 “Task Server upgrade from HF4 to HF5 does not work at first attempt because AexSetupProgress.ini file exists in TS setup directory.”

The Release Notes will have more details on this but for those customers that already installed HF5, these are the current workarounds regarding the known issue mentioned in the eTrack above:

 

Workaround_1: restart computer before Task Server upgrade from HF4 to HF5 - ini file will be removed on restart.

 

Workaround_2: after first attempt to upgrade remote TS ini file will be deleted.

Go to NS Console -> Site Servers and specify schedule for the corresponding Task Server upgrade policy - this time remote Task Server upgrade will work.

 

Besides the known issue mentioned on the eTrack above, HF5 should be just fine to be installed by customers.

 

I don’t have more details to share at this point but as soon as CE team define how they want to proceed, they will share that with this audience in a later time.
