Enabling New Functionality
As a rule, newer versions of Framework components by default behave in the same way and rely on the same configuration as prior versions they are replacing. This allows you to use components as drop-in replacements and continue using the software in the same way that you are used to. In some cases, when you want to activate a particular new feature or behavior, you must add or change configuration options after you have installed a new release. A list of changes in configuration options is provided in New and Changed Configuration Options by Release.
Some versions may introduce changes that require you to take action before you can launch the new component after upgrading it in the existing environment. A list of mandatory configuration changes that has to be made when upgrading certain component is provided in Mandatory Changes in Configuration of Framework Components.
New and Changed Configuration Options by Release
The tables in this section document all configuration option changes in specific Framework server components from release 7.6 through 8.5, with the most recent changes listed first. The changes are listed by component.
Refer to the
Framework Configuration Options Reference Manual for detailed descriptions of all of the Framework configuration options, with the following exceptions:
General Configuration Option Changes
The following table lists all changes in common configuration options (that is, those that are supported by all Genesys server applications), from release 7.6 through 8.5, with the most recent changes listed first.
All Genesys server applications support the unified set of log options (called common log options) in addition to application-specific log options. The common log options are configured for each application in the following sections: log, log-extended, log-filter, and log-filter-data.
All Genesys Server applications also support a set of common options for operations that are not related to logs.

Local Control Agent
Local Control Agents supports common log options which allows you to precisely configure log output for LCA. Because you do not configure an Application object for LCA, if you need to change the default log option settings, modify the configuration file called lca.cfg and specify new values for appropriate options. The file must be located in the same directory as the Local Control Agent executable file.
The following table documents all other configuration option changes in Local Control Agent from release 7.6 through 8.5, with the most recent changes listed first. For more information about the LCA configuration file and for related instructions, see the Framework Deployment Guide.

Genesys Deployment Agent
Important
Support is discontinued for Genesys Deployment Agent (GDA) in LCA release 8.5.100.31 and later.
Starting in release 8.0, the Genesys Deployment Agent is deployed with LCA. The Genesys Deployment Agent is used by of Genesys Administrator Extension to deploy Genesys Applications and Solutions on a Host. To enable this functionality, you must identify what port on the Host that the Genesys Deployment Agent will use to communicate with Genesys Administrator Extension. You provide this information in the Host’s Annex, in the new section rdm, specifying the port number with the configuration option port.
Genesys Deployment Agent supports common log options which allows you to precisely configure log output for Genesys Deployment Agent. Because you do not configure an Application object for Genesys Deployment Agent, if you need to change the default log option settings, create a configuration file called gda.cfg (or rename and modify the gda.cfg.sample file that is located in the installation folder) and specify new values for appropriate options. The file must be located in the same directory as the Genesys Deployment Agent
executable file (gda.exe).
Important
In release 8.5.1, Genesys Deployment Agent is not installed with Local Control Agent by default.
The following table lists all other configuration option changes in Genesys Deployment Agent from release 8.0 through 8.5, with the most recent changes listed first. For more information about the Genesys Deployment Agent, refer to the Framework Deployment Guide.

Mandatory Changes in Configuration of Framework Components
When upgrading Configuration Server to release 8.5, you must modify the existing configuration file to include the [<name of conf server app>]dbthread=false option to continue using your existing DB Server. Alternatively, consider installing and configuring DBMS client software on the same host where the Configuration Server instance resides (to make it available to Configuration Server) and set connection parameters in the configuration file to access the DBMS from that host (see the Framework Deployment Guide for details). In this case, you no longer need a separate DB Server for Configuration Server to access the database.
When updating the Configuration Database schema version to 8.5, and newer, in an environment where Configuration Server 8.5 is already being used (against a database schema of a prior version), you have to specify the [<name of config server app>]langid option. Set this option to 1033 when upgrading an English environment. See Localized Environments for details on how to set the option for other languages.
When upgrading Configuration Server from release 8.0 or older in environment where Configuration Server Proxies are being deployed, make sure you set the force-md5 option to true on the master Configuration Server until you have completed upgrading all Configuration Server Proxies in your environment to the latest version.
Mandatory Changes in Secure Protocol Configuration
When you upgrade your Genesys applications that are configured to communicate securely using Genesys Security Pack on UNIX (or Linux), versions 8.5.1 or later, or you upgrade your Windows operating system to the latest version or Service pack, make sure you are using certificates that are signed using SHA1 or higher across all server applications with which new or updated components have to communicate. If you have previously generated MD5 signed certificates using tools provided with Genesys Security Pack, re-issue them as soon as possible using Security Pack 8.5.1 or later. MD5 certificates are no longer accepted by the latest secure protocol implemenations.
