This section explains the new features available in Sentinel 6.1.
Section 2.1, "New Features in Sentinel 6.1.1.0," on page 2
Section 2.2, "New Features in Sentinel 6.1 Hotfix 1," on page 2
2.1 New Features in Sentinel 6.1.1.0
Sentinel 6.1.1.0 is a maintenance release for Sentinel 6.1. In addition to bug fixes, it contains
enhanced Advisor feature.
2.1.1 Advisor update
The 6.1.1.0 service pack installer deletes the old Advisor data, which has erroneous Advisor
mappings, and enables you to start downloading the new Advisor data.
With the Sentinel 6.1.1.0 release, the existing Advisor download URL will be redirected to a server
containing the new Advisor data. In order to continue to receive automatic updates of the latest
Advisor data, you need to upgrade to Sentinel 6.1.1.0.
2.2 New Features in Sentinel 6.1 Hotfix 1
This section lists the features available in Sentinel 6.1 Hotfix 1 Release.
AUDIT_RECORD Table Partitioning - The AUDIT_RECORD table is configured for
partitioning and archiving for better table management.
Customizing Data and Time Format in Sentinel Control Center - This feature gives the ability
to customize the date/time format that is displayed in event tables in SCC. These event tables
are the ones seen in Active Views, Historical Event Query, Offline Query, etc. By default, the
date/time format will be based on the locale of the machine running SCC; however, the user
can override this default by adding a property to the SentinelPreferences.properties file found
in $ESEC_HOME/config.
3 Prerequisites
The prerequisites depend on the Sentinel system version and platform. Read each section below
carefully to determine whether the steps apply to your environment.
3.1 Back Up Sentinel System
This prerequisite applies to all Sentinel systems, regardless of version or platform.
It is highly recommended that a complete backup be made of the machines on which you are
installing the service pack, including the Sentinel database. If this is not possible, then at a minimum
a backup of the contents of the ESEC_HOME directory should be made. This will help protect your
system against unexpected installation errors.
