This section describes the necessary steps required for preparing the Session Monitor for restore in case the upgrade to Release 5.2 fails and the original data is lost as part of Strategy-1.

1. Re-install Session Monitor version 5.2. Perform a fresh installation of Session Monitor Release 5.2. For more information, see the Session Monitor Release 5.2 Installation Guide.
2. Configure the newly installed Session Monitor with the same node type (Mediation Engine/Fraud Monitor/Mediation Engine Connector) as that of original Session Monitor Server. Configure the node with the same PSA configuration as present in the original Session Monitor server. Refer to the data or screenshots taken during the Preparing Session Monitor for Taking the Backup step.
3. After Node configuration, log in to the application to verify if the node has been successfully installed.
4. Change the password and log out.

   Note:

   Do not perform any other actions on the system until the Restore procedure, as specified in next sections is complete.
5. Run this CLI commands to stop all Session Monitor services:

   source /opt/oracle/ocsm/ocsm_env.sh
   pld-systemctl stop

6. Stop the crond.service by using the command:

   systemctl stop crond.service
