Migration and Upgrade
Before upgrading, it's important to review the migration and upgrade considerations below.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 Upgrade/Installation Prerequisite
- Using the Setup Wizard - It is preferable for .NET Framework 4.8 to be installed on the Enterprise Manager Server machine before running Setup. If .NET Framework 4.8 is not present on the machine, Setup will prompt you to install it. This November require the machine to be rebooted when the installation completes.
- Silent Installation – The ISS file required for silently installing Enterprise Manager must be created on a machine that already has .NET 4.8 installed on it.

Direct upgrade is supported from the last two versions only (including any service releases for those versions). The last two versions are Enterprise Manager November 2021 and Enterprise Manager May 2021.

What's new?

New task notification for CDC interruptions
The new No changes were captured in the last <n> minutes notification will alert you if no changes were captured from the source database within the specified time limit. With most databases, receiving this notification will usually indicate a connectivity problem. However, with the following databases, it could simply mean that no changes occurred during the specified period.

When the task resumes capturing changes, an additional notification that change capture has resumed will be sent, and the notification timer will be reset.
