Introduction 
This chapter lists the major improvements and operational changes for 
the DBDS as a result of installing this updated service pack to the 
existing system release. In addition, this chapter provides important 
system information about this service pack. 
Upgrade Path 
Sites that want to upgrade to this service pack must support System 
Release 2.5, 3.5, or 4.0. This guide provides instructions for upgrading 
to SR 2.5/3.5/4.0 SP3.  
Daylight Saving Time Software 
The SR 2.5/3.5/4.0 SP3 software contains a Daylight Saving Time 
(DST) patch that loads onto the DNCS and the Application Server. 
This software allows the system to be configured to accommodate new 
rules that extend DST by 4 weeks that began with the spring 2007 time 
change. 
Time to Complete the Upgrade 
The upgrade to SR 2.5/3.5/4.0 SP3 must be completed within a 
maintenance window. Cisco engineers have determined that a typical 
site can be upgraded in approximately 6 hours.
