A. For BigFix Compliance Analytics versions 1.9.x, 1.10.x and 2.0.x:
- Make sure that you complete the server and database backup.

- Follow the Fixlet instructions and take the associated action to upgrade your BigFix Compliance deployment.
- Update the data schema. To do this, log in to the BigFix Compliance web interface from the host server and proceed with configuration. Upgrading the data scheme is expected and it will take some time to complete. NOTE: Automatic upgrade installation only affects installations running under the LocalSystem account. Follow the Fixlet instructions to install the update manually if this fix cannot be applied.
