Data Protector A.10.20 (Build 115) wurde am 6. Dezember 2018 veröffentlicht.
Diese Version ist entgegen des bisherigem Patch-Zyklus kein Patch Bundle. Mit dem Media Kit werden Neuinstallationen und Upgrades auf die neue Version deutlich vereinfacht. Es ist geplant, dass alle in Zukunft verfügbaren Versionen als komplettes Media Kit veröffentlicht werden. Es kann auch für direkte Upgrades von Data Protector 8.1x. 9.0x, 10.x auf Version 10.20 genutzt werden – ein Zwischenschritt über Data Protector 10.00, 10.03 oder 10.10 ist in diesem Fall nicht notwendig.
Da Data Protector 10.20 ein vollständiges Media Kit ist, kann die neue Version derzeit nicht über das Software Support Online (SSO) Portal bezogen werden.
Sie können die Software im Software Licenses und Downloads Portal herunterladen nachdem Sie sich mit Ihrem Micro Focus Software Passport Account angemeldet haben. Um Zugriff zu erhalten ist ein aktiver Supportvertrag (SAID) oder Support Subscription im Software Passport Profil notwendig.
Um Installationsprobleme zu vermeiden, sollten Sie die Release Notes vollständig lesen und eventuell installierte Hot Fixes, welche nicht Teil der neuen Software sind, dokumentieren.
