HOTFIX to unblock 'Warning: Please update sapio365' Cosmos DB

The following steps are a partial fix to unblock the Cosmos DB migration of the local RBAC configuration (and other shared data) to version 2.1.7 using the published hotfix.

If you have updated to version 2.1.7 and you are connected to Cosmos DB, and you are stuck seeing the following message upon (a) launch, or (b) in the RBAC and sapio365 Access & Restrictions sections, the steps that follow will fix the situation. For security reasons, sapio365 RBAC roles are unavailable for EVERYONE until compatibility between Cosmos DB and sapio365 is achieved.

Solution

You must be a Microsoft 365 global admin to trigger a migration of Cosmos DB data.

Make sure you are using an Advanced session.

If you have ‘Load last session’ setting in Preferences enabled:

If you do NOT have ‘Load last session’ setting enabled (i.e. no session at startup):

Run 2.1.7 and you will see the error message.
Update sapio365 to latest version (2.1.7-HOTFIX), and run it. Then close the application.
Relaunch sapio365 and switch to an Advanced session. You will still see the error. Quit sapio365.
Go to C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Local\Ytria\sapio365, and delete _rd8_.ytr
Launch sapio365 again. This will trigger the data migration. The error message will be gone.

Run 2.1.7 and you will see the error message.
Update sapio365 to latest version (2.1.7-HOTFIX), and run it. Then close the application.
Go to C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Local\Ytria\sapio365, and delete _rd8_.ytr
Launch sapio365 again. Load an Advanced session. This will trigger the data migration. The error message will be gone.

Once the Cosmos DB migration has been triggered by an global admin, users with RBAC roles will be able to unblock their role sessions in sapio365 by following the same steps above.
