Important information for upgrading Service Exchange to Australia

Before you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.

Release	Release notes
Yokohama	When using Service Exchange for Providers and Service Exchange for Consumers in a single instance, you must upgrade both applications simultaneously to the same version to maintain compatibility. The Service Exchange Global Script Include is automatically installed or updated when you install the Service Exchange application on the following platform versions: Washington DC Patch 9 Xanadu Patch 4 Yokohama Service Exchange 2.x.x, which was first released with the Xanadu release, does not support migration of Service Exchange (Legacy) versions. If you are using a Service Exchange (Legacy) version, before you upgrade to the Yokohama release, you must follow instructions in the Service Exchange for Providers (Legacy) - Migration Utility [KB1499823] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base to migrate your configuration data. If you are upgrading from Service Exchange version 1.x.x, follow the steps in Upgrade Guide - Service Exchange for Providers and Consumers application (v2.x.x release) [KB1700387] to migrate your Service Exchange applications. Due to the introduction of mismatched version support, new entitlements cannot be activated until both the consumers and providers upgrade to Service Exchange version 2.x.x. Older active entitlements will continue to work but new ones cannot be activated. If you upgrade to Service Exchange version 2.0.55 with Sales Customer Relationship Management plug-in version 1.0.4 before upgrading the platform to the Yokohama release, the new Deny ACLs will not be installed. To ensure the Deny ACLs get installed, after upgrading to Yokohama, you must click Repair to reinstall the Service Exchange application.
