Updating Symantec ESM 6.1 without LiveUpdate
1. Download the UpdatePackage.zip.
2. Create a \Symantec\ESM\update folder on each of your Symantec ESM Managers.
3. Extract the UpdatePackage.zip to the update folder on each of your Symantec ESM Managers.


Note: The package unzips the UpdatePackage.rdl to the ble\su_2000\en folder. UpdatePackage.rdl contains essential content that is used by Symantec Enterprise Reporting.
4. From the Agent machine, install the tpk (tuneup pack).
5. From an ESM console, run a Policy Run on the Agent to ensure that the Agent is updated.
6. This process will take a few minutes because the .rdl must populate the new security update data on the database.

Note: The Agent will not return any new SU 20 data until you run the CreateOptViews.sql script for your database. All scripts are located on the ESM Reporting Installation CDs under \sql\\createESMdb. For more information see Refreshing database views after LiveUpdate in the Symantec Enterprise Security Manager Security Update 20 Release Notes.
Message mapping of security content of 6.1 after LiveUpdate Message mapping on all databases are not updated when doing a LiveUpdate. To refresh, use the appropriate script for each database platform. You must refresh the database from the actual database server. The scripts are located on the ESM Reporting Installation CDs under \sql\\createESMdb.

For more information see Refreshing database views after LiveUpdate in the Symantec Enterprise Security Manager Security Update 20 Release Notes.
