Upgrading from a Previous Release
Customers upgrading from previous versions of Connect see the following changes:
- A new table Receiver_Domain_Master is created.
- For every unique receiver domain available in the Conversation_Master table,
a new receiver domain is created in the Receiver_Domain_Master table. By
default, signing is turned off for all receiver domains created when
upgrading Connect from prior releases.
- The following columns are added to the Conversation_Master table:
- RECVDOMAIN_ID: This column is populated with the corresponding
recvdomain_id.
- FLAG: This column is populated with N to indicate that signing is
turned off at the conversation level. Administrators can edit
existing conversations to enable signing at the conversation level.
For more information about message signing at the conversation
level, see Message Signing at the
Conversation Level.
- The RECEIVER_DOMAIN column is dropped from the Conversation_Master
table.
