Upgrade scenarios

Determine whether you need to change your scripts when you upgrade Deep Security Manager or your SDK to take advantage of new or improved capabilities.

• You upgrade Deep Security Manager: There is no need to update your SDK or change your scripts when you upgrade Deep Security Manager. An SDK is compatible with the version of the Deep Security Manager that it is associated with, and with later versions. For example, the SDK that was released for Deep Security 11.3 is compatible with Deep Security Manager 11.3 and 12.0. However, you should consider upgrading your SDK to take advantage of new capabilities.
• You upgrade your SDK: You might need to make minor changes to your scripts when you upgrade the SDK that you are using. Scripts are not guaranteed to be 100% compatible with versions of the SDK that are later than the version with which the script was created. New versions of the SDK can introduce changes that break your existing scripts. For example, when a new version of an SDK introduces a new required method parameter, to use the new SDK your existing scripts that use that method need to include a corresponding argument.

Determine your SDK's compatibility

To determine whether the SDK that you're using is compatible with your Deep Security Manager, obtain the SDK version and compare it with with the version that is associated with your manager. The version of your SDK must be equal to or earlier than the version of your Deep Security Manager.
