Patch Update#

Important

There is no License Super Patch available containing 4.1.2 features in release 21.3 that can be applied to earlier releases without upgrading to release 21.3.

The details below refer to the License Super Patch for releases prior to release 21.3.

From Version 2.3.0 of the License Audit tool, a single patch is available to install all the latest changes to any releases from CUCDM 11.5.1 SU1 / VOSS-4-UC 17.4 onwards.

Important

  • All changes in version 4.0.2 of the License Super Patch are automatically included in release 21.2. Therefore, the License Super Patch is not required for platforms on release 21.2.

  • For all releases before the 19.x series, there is a known, pre-existing issue where License audit files are not generated when a scheduled License audit overlaps with a scheduled subscriber data extract (SDE).

    To avoid this issue in this release, ensure that you have non-overlapping license audit and SDE schedules. You can modify the schedule of your SDE (see: Scheduling), but if you wish to modify the License audit default schedule from 3AM UTC, please contact VOSS support.

The Patch and the MOP are available here (does not apply for changes from release 21.3):

Supported Releases and Dependency Requirements#

The super patch is compatible with CUCDM 11.5.1 SU1 / VOSS-4-UC 17.4 platform versions and later. For each release version, there may be a dependency on or more additional patches. Where possible, the super patch automatically installs missing dependencies. Otherwise, the installation fails with an error message instructing the platform administrator to install the missing dependencies. The table below provides dependency details for various release versions.

Caveats#

  1. For CUCDM 11.5.1 SU1, CUCDM 11.5.2, VOSS-4-UC 17.4, and VOSS-4-UC 17.6, the patch does not support the internal platform schedule that automatically executes the license audit at the start of every month.

    Workaround: A standard platform CLI schedule must be used.

  2. The inclusion of Subscriber Data Extracts is a side effect of the underlying implementation dependencies.

    The version number specified in the patch relates to the version number of the license audit reports and is not influenced by changes in Subscriber Data Extracts capabilities.
