Added Items
Substitute user support You can now define a substitute user to:
Install and start Platform Manager when bootstrapping Platform Manager on a remote machine using a template.

Upgrading stacks In the Command Central web user interface, you can now upgrade software stacks with version 10.3 and higher. You can use stacks for the following upgrade types:

upgrade to a new installation directory on the same host with the same ports.
upgrade to a new host with the same ports and the installation directory can have the same or a new value.
Each type of upgrade with the stack has a dedicated upgrade wizard. You can also do a dry run of the upgrade, which will only generate and validate the required migration templates. You can review the results of the dry-run job and check the templates before running the actual upgrade.
