Caché Upgrade Checklists - InterSystems Documentation

Administrators^CacheAuditD(, ) = $lb()The new format is:^CacheAuditD(, , ) = $lb()If the site has copied audit data to a different namespace for archival and reporting, that audit data will be converted thefirst time it is accessed by the ^%AUDIT routine for reporting.If an application only uses SQL to report on an archived audit database, then it must be changed to do one of two things:1. Run ^%AUDIT in the namespace where the data is archived and run a list report on the data. This will cause theconversion of the data.2. Run the ##Class(%SYS.Audit).Convert() method in the namespace where the data is archived.See the %SYS.Audit class for more details on the audit record format.Audit Entries No Longer MandatoryIn prior versions, some system level audit events used to be marked as mandatory audit events. This meant that an administratorcould not turn off auditing for these events. In 2009.1., Caché now allows any auditing event to be disabled. Bydefault, audit entries that were marked as mandatory in previous releases remain on and must be explicitly turned off.Note:Queries in the Security.Events class have been updated to remove the “Mandatory” column from the query.Customers using these queries may need to update their application to remove these columns.6.1.5.4 NetWide Domain Namespaces (NWDS) RemovedBeginning with 2009.1, the Netwide Domain Spacespaces (NWDS) feature is no longer supported. Customers who haverelied on this to propagate namespace changes across system boundaries should contact InterSystems Worldwide ResponseCenter (WRC) for guidance.6.1.6 Platform-specific ItemsThis section holds items of interest to users of specific platforms.6.1.6.1 No Support For CPUs Before Pentium P4Beginning with this version, Caché will only install and run on Intel-based platforms using the Pentium P4 or later chipset,that is, those that support the SSE2 cpu extensions. This also applies to other manufacturers equivalent chipsets, forexample, those from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) that are functionally equivalent to the Intel Pentium P4.Note:In version 2008.1, this restriction only applied to server systems. Now it is applicable to BOTH client and serverinstallations.6.1.6.2 Tru64 UNIX® Version And Configuration SpecificsPatch LevelInterSystems recommends that Tru64 UNIX® systems be upgraded to a minimum level of 5.1B-4. This contains a correctionthat corrects “... a problem with pagetable page allocations that could leave a thread waiting indefinitely during a forkoperation.” according to the vendor.Stack Size LimitSome systems running Tru64 UNIX® may display messages from the operating system that indicate the stack cannot beincreased in size. The appearance of this message depends on the configuration parameters and application load. Morespace can be allocated to the stack through the ulimit command.Caché Upgrade Checklists 133
