  • Verifies that Precise FocalPoint is up
  • Connects to Performance Warehouse and all Oracle instances connection pools and warns if a problem occurs
  • Removes all dangling lines from INFRA DB as followsby checking that:
    • Checks that an AppTier is connected to the environment
    • Checks that an instance is connected to an AppTier
    • Checks that an instance is connected to a server
    • Checks that an installation is connected to a server
    • Checks that the installation-instance connection is valid
    • Checks that the instance dependency connection is valid
    • Checks that an instance SLA is connected to the instance
    • Checks that the downtime calendar is connected to the downtime rule
  • Warns about any dangling instances (instances without a server or an AppTier)
  • Warns if any Precise Listener is down
  • Warns if an invalid registry file, such as Copy of or not matching file name to XML, is located
  • Checks that all framework FocalPoints are on the same server
  • Checks for unsupported instances
  • Checks that there are no pending action items
  • Checks for sufficient disk space
    • On Precise FocalPoint machine: 3GB required disk space
    • On any other Precise listener: 1GB required disk space
  • Checks for de-supported instances:
    • WEB SAP ABAP instance
    • Instances monitored using Web Client Collector
    • Microsoft .Net NET SQL Server monitoring
    • Oracle version 9 and below
  • Checks for de-supported installation:
    • Web static instrumentation
  • Monitor view permissions using AppTier, instance or technology scopes are no longer supported. Instead, upgrade the role to use environment scope.
  • Proxy relay can't cannot be used during the upgrade process.
  • Backs up all action items
  • Checks for antiviruses that may cause for locked files errors
  • Checks patches that are required for pre/post upgrade
  • Checks if the PMDB tablespace folder specified in the registry exists (only for Oracle based PMDB)
  • Checks if <hsql-upgraded> tag exists in pools.xml. If it does, remove it
  • Checks for uninstalled ddml files under <Precise root>/products/dbms/files/tables_definition/ and renames any relevant file to *.uninstall
  • Checking Checks .NET version on Windows servers
  • Checking Checks for missing column (TPTN_SHORTST_RESPONSE_TIME_MIN) in tablesPWtables PW_TPTN_TRAN_STATS_B and PW_TPTN_USERS_STATS_B and adding adds it, if necessary
  • Checking Checks for federation dependency
  • Checking Checks for custom alerts in federation
