Caution:
SNMP destinations and SQL sources have been removed in the SSB 5.2.0 releaseDo not upgrade to SSB 5.2.0 if you are currently using and want to continue to use:
These functionalities have been removed from SSB starting with version 5.2.0. Upgrading from 5 LTS and its minor versions would mean that you would have to upgrade to 5.2.0 - to continue to receive support for the product. Staying on 5 LTS and its minor versions means that you will not have access to the HDFS destination functionality available in SSB starting with version 5.1.0, however, you will continue to get support for 3 years after the original publication date of 5 LTS (December 2017) and for 1 year after the next LTS release is published (whichever date is later). |
