Additional Notes: Upgrade the agent and ART to version 8.1.4.3 to obtain the RFE and improvements that are included in this release. Important: If you are upgrading the ART from version 8.1.4 to 8.1.4.3, you must upgrade the ART component first, before you upgrade the agent. If the 8.1.4 agent is configured with the administration and reporting tool, when you upgrade to 8.1.4.3, the tool shows the reporting status as Not Running. When you select Start reporting for the first time, the log file conversion process begins. Depending on the size of your server log file, it can take time for the initial conversion of the data. The system must convert the data in the entire log to the required format. NEW: Data backup and upgradeBefore upgrading to this fixpack, back up your license usage data by following the instructions in the technical note How to backup license usage data before upgrading to RLKS Administration and Reporting Tool version 8.1.4.3 or higher. When you install this fixpack and start ART, the license usage data is automatically upgraded to a new format. Once the data upgrade is complete, you see the login screen.
