F Compatibility with Previous Releases For compatibility with earlier versions of E-Business Server, please refer to the notes outlined in this appendix. Legacy compatibility E-Business Server 8.6 is mostly compatible with the legacy options and configuration values used in previous versions. However, some on-screen messages, error strings and prompts have changed. By setting the configuration value CMDLINE-FORMAT (or the environment variable PGP_CMDLINE_FORMAT) to legacy, E-Business Server translates legacy options into equivalent new options, and recognizes most previous configuration file options. (For more information on setting the compatibility mode, see CMDLINE-FORMAT on page 92.) We advise all customers to carefully test existing scripts when running in legacy mode. Also, new scripts should be written using the new options since legacy options may not be supported in future releases. If INFO is set to Verbose in the E-Business Server configuration file (same as VERBOSE=2 in legacy mode), then E-Business Server displays the long-option equivalent for all legacy commands. This may assist you in porting legacy command-line options to the new long-options. For more information on the INFO parameter, see INFO on page 98. Using +OPTIONS on the command line Previous versions of E-Business Server allowed configuration file options to be specified on the command line by preceding them with a plus (+) sign. This is supported for compatibility purposes only. We recommend using --options instead, since +OPTIONS will be removed in a future version of the product. Upgrading from a previous release E-Business Server 8.6 cannot reside on a machine that contains a previous version of other McAfee Security software. The older product(s) need to be removed from the system. E-Business Server™ 8.6 Product Guide 171
