Single-stream agent releases
Most of the Linux-UNIX and Windows agents for Guardium Data Protection versions 12.0 and later are now released as single stream, cumulative updates. File names starting with "12.x" are now applicable to all current (12.0, 12.1, and 12.2) and future minor version releases within the Guardium 12.x family. The new naming convention follows a sequence, such as 12.xp100, 12.xp101, and so on.
To accommodate the single-stream packaging change, ad-hoc appliance patches are required for any GIM-managed Linux-UNIX or Windows Agents customer environment before upgrading to the new single-stream agent release packages. Visit Single-stream agent releases to identify the ad-hoc patch that aligns with your specific Guardium appliance version, and follow the prescribed upgrade sequence.
Important: Do not upload Linux-UNIX Agents 12.xp101 or later, or Windows Agents 12.x.p100 or later to a GIM server that does not yet have this appliance patch installed because the bundle will not process correctly.
Note: Customers who already upgraded to Guardium 12.2.3 (GPU 12.0p230, see release note) or do not use GIM to install and manage agents do not need to apply these ad-hoc patches to use the new single-stream agent release packages.
