Stability and Compatibility with Older ASRAs

The latest Advanced Session Recording Agents (ASRAs) use more reliable durable message exchanges, which are not compatible with earlier (already deployed) ASRAs. Version 7.7+ of the ASRA only requires HTTP connectivity to Secret Server, the distributed engine response-bus site connector is no longer required.

To prevent this from breaking older Advanced Session Recordings, exchanges remain permanently transient. Newer ASRAs use HTTP uploads, which do not use the message queue. Older versions of ASRAs will continue to function as they have, while newer ASRA versions do not use the message queue and will have "durable" behavior over HTTP. We recommend updating your ASRA to version 7.7 or later as soon as possible.
