This section covers backwards compatibility between Weblogic Network Gatekeeper 4.0 and Oracle Communication Services Gateway 4.1. The following areas are discussed:
Upgrades from Network Gatekeeper 4.0 to Gatekeeper 4.1 are supported. The upgrade process can be managed using the rolling upgrade mechanism unless your installation uses SIP, SMPP, or the new RESTful facade, in which case a restart is necessary. Scripts and tools to facilitate upgrade and migration of data are provided.
Some account management operations have changed to accommodate the new SLA Types. Older methods continue to work, but are deprecated. Some plugin routing operations have changed to accommodate the new tier routing mechanism. Full documentation is available in Managing Accounts and SLAs and Integration Guidelines for Partner Relationship Management, separate documents in this set.
Database schemas have been changed and migration scripts are provided for upgrades.
The Service Level Agreement mechanism has been expanded. Old SLAs will continue to work, but will not be synchronized across geographically remote sites regardless of the setting of the <enforceAcrossSites> tag, which has been deprecated. For more information on the changes to SLAs, see Enhanced SLA Structure and Enforcement.
As a result of these changes, there are several account management operations that have been changed, and earlier operations have been deprecated, both at the console (MBean) level and at the PRM Operator Service level. The deprecated operations in the console include:

The deprecated operations in the Operator Service interface of the PRM include:
