To upgrade a composite Security Center system
involving Global Cardholder Synchronizer (GCS) roles, you must upgrade the sharing host system
first, then upgrade the sharing guest systems.
What you should know

two-way synchronization of shared cardholders and their related entities between the
local system (sharing guest) where it resides and the central system (sharing
