Revision Date: June 17, 2021
This document describes the items deployed in the 21.1.2 CAMS Enterprise Update Release. Enhancements, modifications, and system corrections are included and categorized primarily by module. Those items needing CAMS Manager attention have been noted as such. For detailed information and instructions on functionality additions and changes, refer to the online help files located in the CAMS Enterprise application. Note that portal updates are not automatically installed on your site and must be applied by your institution. ServiceBroker.dll updates are not automatically installed on a separate portal server and must be applied by your institution.
Only schools using CAMS for Texas Reporting will need to apply this update right away and others can wait until next quarterly release to apply both together
Please note changes in help files for setup.

Portal files will be downloaded to your CAMS Enterprise \ Portal Updates directory.
If you do not (or have not yet) customized your portals, follow these instructions: MOVE all files from the CAMS Enterprise\Portal Updates\[PortalName] folder to the installation directory for the matching portal. Do not copy the folders but only the files in those sub-folders to the same sub-folder in the matching portal folder.
If you do customize your portals follow these instructions: After making a backup of your customized portal pages, move the stock portal files for this update to the installation directory for your specific Portal. Then apply your customizations to the new, stock portal files.
