CAUTION
Streams users who upgrade from release 7.1.0 (DAG 5.0) or release 7.2.0 (DAG 5.1) to release 7.3.0 (DAG 6.0) will not be able to access topics configured using the pre-DAG 6.0 mapping rules.

To use EEP 9.1.1 with core 7.2.0, you must install Data Access Gateway 5.1.0 (and not Data Access Gateway 6.0.0), and you must perform the installation or upgrade using manual steps. The Installer does not support installing or upgrading to EEP 9.1.1 with core 7.2.0.
