In essence, HP has changed device data structures to improve both usability and reliability. Many of these data structures have been updated to include details added to device settings through firmware development. Many of the improvements will help preserve columns and filtering settings over OS or environment changes, whereas today filter settings based on strings data can be prone to issues. Because of the updates performed in the newer HP Web Jetadmin version, certain functionality changes will take place that include changes to existing customer settings. This document outlines the upgrade changes that will take place. Administrators should be fully aware of these changes before performing this upgrade and should also take a few pre-upgrade actions to ensure success.  \nNOTE: It is very important to run a backup of HP Web Jetadmin before upgrading. HP Web Jetadmin contains a backup script set with instructions in the directory %PROGRAMFILES%\\HewlettPackard\\Web Jetadmin 10\\WJABackupRestore\\. Use the WJABackupRestoreInstructions.txt file to learn more about these scripts. Keep your backup files and directories in a safe location and always note the version of HP Web Jetadmin from which the backup is taken.  \nDevice details stored in HP Web Jetadmin templates or active tasks  \nDevices can be configured manually via Configuration Templates or scheduled tasks. In the case of Configuration Templates, administrators can store device configuration settings in a template for later use or for application through HP Web Jetadmin Automatic Groups. Scheduled tasks that contain device settings that have not yet been applied to the devices might also exist. In both cases, HP Web Jetadmin can write changes to both stored templates and scheduled tasks as part of an upgrade feature that is initiated just after the installer upgrades HP Web Jetadmin and starts the HPWJA Service. Many of these changes take place in the background and administrators do not have to take action.  \nIn a few cases, functionality has changed enough that HP Web Jetadmin notifies the administrator of a template or scheduled task change. In these cases, the notification alerts the administrator that a specific configuration item has been removed from the template.  \nHere is an example of an upgrade notification where configuration items were removed from the template. In Service Release 5, HP Web Jetadmin can potentially remove two configuration items from both templates and scheduled tasks. These configuration items are:  \nAddress Book Management (replaced by Import/Export Address Book)  \nAccess Control for Device Applications (replaced by Access Control for Device Functions) Here are some steps administrators should take before performing the upgrade:  \n1. Back up HP Web Jetadmin as noted in the beginning of this document.  \n2. Locate templates that include the configuration items noted above.  \n3. Capture and note all settings related to these configuration items.  \n4. Locate past histories that show device configuration using either affected templates or scheduled configurations.  \n5. Capture and note all settings related to these configuration items.  \nAfter the upgrade is complete and on the first client st","cbCairTvDs5H8ycD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairTvDs5H8ycD","pdf",776834,"English","# Overview\n## Device details stored in HP Web Jetadmin templates or active tasks\n## HP Web Jetadmin filtering details stored in device lists or in device groups\n# Summary\n# Appendix—HP Web Jetadmin column items affected by a Service Release upgrade","[{\"question\":\"Why do device data structures change during the HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 upgrade?\",\"answer\":\"The document states HP changed device data structures to improve usability and reliability, including updates that add details from firmware development.
