  • Hi Jimmy,

    Thanks for sharing the news on CHF7, but the links does not seem to work. Is this cumulative hotfix still being prepared for release, or could there be a problem with the links?

    Thank You

    • Hello Ali_G

       At the moment I don’t know what’s up with the article. It doesn’t seem to come up any more.

      Although if you login to MyVeritas https://my.veritas.com and look under the Previous Versions for Symantec eDiscovery Platform 8.1 Product you should see Veritas_eDiscovery_Platform_v811_CHF7_Win_EN_Fix1.zip  108 MB. That’s the hotfix.  

      Maybe it was pulled for some reason. You may want to hold off on applying it for now just in case. I’ll check into it more here soon and keep you posted.

        Hello Ali_G,

        It was confirmed that eDiscovery Platform 8.1.1 Cumulative Hotfix 7 Release http://www.veritas.com/docs/000116772  was republished yesterday :robothappy: Make sure that you go to the URL and download and install from the new binary.

        Also, I want to offer some advice to you (unless I already made you aware at some point) when performing CHF upgrades in eDP now and in the future. Besides creating and/or confirming a previous nights backup (case backups mostly), make sure you include the creation of a backup copy of the D:\CW\V8x\web folder before performing the upgrade.  Backup of the web could potentially be used in the event of a CHF rollback. At least this was the suggestion of a well-respected Backline Engineer :robotwink:

        When you have an opportunity, would you mind marking your issue as Resolved.
