Forcepoint DLP

Before running the data upgrade wizard, the installer validates system requirements to ensure your upgrade will be successful.

The pre-upgrade check validates hardware requirements, credentials for your SQL management database, endpoint security certificates, manager configuration, administrator upgrade permissions, and your database structure. As it proceeds, it reports whether a step succeeded or failed, or it gives you a warning.

If there is a failure, the upgrade stops. For details, see \AP-DATA- PreUpgradeTests.log in the directory where you installed Forcepoint DLP.

If there are only warnings, you have the option to proceed with the upgrade or stop it. If you continue, your system may behave unexpectedly, but this will not have a critical impact.

If the pre-upgrade check succeeds or if you proceed with warnings, the Forcepoint DLP wizard is launched, followed by wizards for each installed component.

The Data Security upgrade wizard contains the following screens.
