Upgrade SCM out-of-the-box profiles
Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) out-of-the-box profiles can be upgraded using the import functionality. The newer versions of out-of-the-box profiles are published on the SCM Thwack exchange forum. To download the newer versions of these profiles, go to the Profiles tab in SCM. Click Import, select the newer .scm-profile, and starting importing. When a newer version of the existing out-of-the-box profile is detected, you can upgrade without the need to re-assign to nodes. When a profile is upgraded, some changes might be generated when comparing content of previous and upgraded elements.
