Your mileage will vary - the more UV specific "features" or APIs or the like you utilise - they more issues you're likely to have. As these tend to change at each release.
If on the other hand, you have plain vanilla application then you're unlikely to have issues...then all you're doing is project managing your migration to a new host, UV release and performing testing to ensure you configuration, software and end-to-end processes are A-OK afterwards. As with any software release - carefully review the release / technical notes - especially if you have any mind any "new feature" you wish to use. Caution and clear objectives on how and why you're going to implement ADE is recommended. It's a greatly improved facility over previous versions - with some new features added to dramatically improve it and easy administration. However, "never buy or use version 1.x" of any software - extra care (and testing) is needed (especially reading the tech / release notes so you're fully aware of known issues - some which can be OS and release specific). Some good test cases for "worse cases" scenarios for ADE would be recommended too... also think about what would happen if you needed to retrieve encrypted files from backups. Will these same backups include the UV version/keys, etc. that you can restore the data in any unencrypted form? Is the administrative overhead of maintaining a ADE database files really worth it? Would OS-level filesystem encryption be a better choice? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Oaks, Harold Sent: Saturday, 15 December 2012 4:16 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Universe 11.x Universe folks: Who has upgraded from Universe 10.x to Universe 11.x lately? Is it painless? Like - get the users out, install Universe 11.x in 5 minutes, then get the users back in. Then, as time permits, take advantage of the new features within Universe 11.x. Or - is it a big deal to install it? My manager is interested in data encryption in the underlying data. It is my understanding the Automatic Data Encryption (ADE) only exists in Universe 11.x. Is that right? If the install is simple enough, that would seem to be the way to go to obtain this feature for all fields.
