11Caché 5.1 Upgrade ChecklistPurposeThe purpose of this chapter is to highlight those features of Caché 5.1 that, because of their difference in this version, affectthe administration, operation, or development activities of existing systems.BackgroundCaché version 5.1 is a significant improvement in functionality and security over its predecessors. In making this advance,InterSystems goal was to provide a compatible evolutionary path forward whenever possible. However, many of the features,such as the System Management Portal, replace functions in previous releases with new mechanisms. Furthermore, theaddition of the new security features required a partial redesign and reorganization of the underlying system. These introducedincompatibilities with previous versions of Caché.Other ResourcesOther InterSystems documents describe the features of Caché 5.1 in more depth and breadth. For example,• The Getting Started With Caché section of the documentation Home page provides the Release Notes for this release,information on Installing Caché, and a list of the target Supported Platforms.• The Caché System Administration section contains information on Administering Caché including using the newSystem Management Portal, and also Administering Caché Advanced Security.• A new section called Caché System References provides two new books. One describes the format of the CachéParameter File. A second, the Caché Advanced Configuration Settings Reference, explains the parameters in the [Home]> [Configuration] > [Advanced Settings] page.
