Be aware of the following consideration when running WEM in a FIPS environment.

You cannot restore to your WEM environment the following items if they are exported from a WEM 2003 or earlier environment.
- Actions (printers, network drives, user DSN) and action groups containing those actions
- Settings (agent configuration settings and transformer settings)
- Configuration sets

Upgrade considerations

If you want to run WEM in FIPS mode, be aware of the following considerations before upgrading the WEM infrastructure services and administration console:

If you have WEM 2006 or later running in your environment, you can first upgrade to 2109 and then switch to FIPS mode or the opposite way.
If you have WEM 2003 or earlier running in your environment, you must first upgrade to 2109 and then switch to FIPS mode.

Agent considerations

To run the WEM agent in a FIPS environment, make sure that the version of the agent is 2006 or later.
