Best practices: Preparing to upgrade
When you upgrade from an earlier version of
BEMS
, consider the following guidelines: - Administrators must provide theirMicrosoft Active Directoryuser credentials to log in to theBEMSDashboard during the upgrade.
- If you are upgrading multiple instances in a cluster, you must upgrade each computer that hosts an instance ofBEMS.
- If multipleBEMSinstances point to a shared (common) database, new features are not available until all instances are upgraded. Running in a mixed-version environment for an extended period is not recommended.
- Special characters, for example semicolon (;), at sign (@), and slash mark (/), are not supported for theBEMSservice account.
