database schema.The Enforce Server upgrade process does not support a TLS connection to Amazon RDS. Symantec recommends that you run the Upgrade Readiness Tool and complete the Enforce Server upgrade using Amazon RDS on a non-TLS listener port. The TLS connection between the previous version Enforce Server and RDS is not migrated during the upgrade. After you complete the upgrade process, re-establish TLS communication with RDS.
Symantec recommends that you prepare for the upgrade, including running the Update Readiness Tool, a few weeks before you plan to complete the upgrade. Preparing helps ensure that any issues that arise can be resolved before the scheduled upgrade.
