CA 2E and Web Option require IBM i (i5/OS) version 6.1 or higher.
For instructions about installing or upgrading, see the Installation Guide.
There are three different methods for installing or upgrading the Web Option product: a new installation, an upgrade from r8.5, and an upgrade from versions older than r8.5. Locate the appropriate section for your situation in the Web Option User Guide.
For instructions about installation tasks required for the Web Services Support feature, see the Release Notes, or the Web Service Support section in the Installation Guide.
After upgrading your models, you must run the YCVTMDLMSG command to ensure that any new run-time messages are created in the model generation library.
You can install the CA Release 8.7 documentation set on your PC. See the End-to-End (E2E) Bookshelf for instructions.
If you are also upgrading to a new release of CA 2E Change Management Option, you need to contact PTC Support to get the required PTC Security codes for that release.
In CA 2E r8.5, we modified the 1E program YBRTP2R to use a modified version of data area YBRTPXA. If you are upgrading to Release 8.7 from a version older than r8.5, and you want to use your existing 1E data library, you need to delete YBRTPXA from this library. Afterwards, run YCRTY1DTA with your existing library to create a new version of this data area, and then, if necessary, change it to specify any values you previously used.
Failure to address this data area YBRTPXA difference could result in a number of 2E environmental issues including:
CA 2E Release 8.7 uses the same licensing codes used for the CA 2E r8.1 GA release; if you already have a license for r8.1 GA, you do not need to obtain a new license for Release 8.7.
