The Security Center
5.12 Installer upgrades the Directory database as part of the
main server upgrade. You only need to upgrade the Directory database manually if you
restored an older version of the database.
What you should know
After
restoring an older version of the Directory
database, Server Admin notifies you that a database update is required.
Best Practice: Before you upgrade, back up your database in a secure location
that’s separate from your main server.
