All users are recommended to first test running this release on a testing server before actually upgrading the production servers.

 Limitation / Known issue of this version 
 Deployment / Upgrade 
  • Due to a bug in AhsayOBM/ACB v7.7.0.0, auto update from v7.7.0.0 to v8.1.0.50 is NOT supported. Auto update from AhsayOBM/ACB v6.27.0.0 and other v7.x/v8.x versions are supported.
  • Due to a bug in AhsayOBM/ACB v7.5.0.0 (Linux), auto upgrade from v7.5.0.0/v7.7.0.0 to v8.1.0.50 is NOT supported.
  • For AhsayOBS v6 upgraded to AhsayCBS v8, if there are multiple enforcement backup set settings in the same policy group, only the first enforcement backup set settings is migrated.
  • Upgrading for AhsayOBS v6 with junction points/symbolic links used in System Home to AhsayCBS v8 is not supported.
  • For upgrading customized AhsayCBS from v7.7.2.0 or below, users are required to re-brand the latest cbs.css and upload to AhsayCBS after starting up the AhsayCBS. Otherwise, AhsayCBS will not be able to save the customized predefined destination on the customization page. Please download the latest cbs.css from this link.
  • For multi-domain SSL certificates added to CBS before v7.17.0.30, users are required to re-add the SSL certificates to CBS v7.17.0.30 or above, before the certificates can be used on sub-admins accounts.

 Backup / Restore 
  • For MSSQL/MS Exchange (Server)/Lotus Domino/Oracle backup sets upgraded from v6 to v7/v8, a database backup (with in-file delta, if in-file delta is enabled) will be performed in the first backup job after the upgrade.
  • AhsayOBM is not able to backup SQL database with special character for MS SQL Backup Set in ODBC mode.

 Others 
  • AhsayCBS User Web console does not support login from RDR.

 Note 
  • AhsayCBS v8.1.0.50 contains v7 hotfixes up to v7.17.0.104 inclusive. If you are upgrading from v7.17.0.105 or above, please download and apply related v8 hotfixes available on Partner Portal.
  • Besides the availability of re-branding option, the license key must have valid maintenance in order to build any v8 branded AhsayCBS/OBM/ACB installer.
  • As best effort support is provided for Windows Xp and Windows 2003 in v8, the behaviour of Auto Update feature is updated to allow upgrading OBM installed on Windows XP and Windows 2003 to upgrade to v8. This change will affect CBS v7.15.0.8 or above. For more information about supporting platform, please refer to our Software Compatibility List.
  • As the management of user storage quota's has changed since AhsyCBS v7.15.6.38, it is not recommended to downgrade to a lower version, as this will reset the user storage quotas for all users on AhsayCBS which can potentially affect your backups.
