Notification Manager Database Upgrade Considerations

The database schema in CA Automation Point Release 11.5 has changed to support enhancements to the Notification Manager website and new ADDRESS VOX commands. This database schema is compatible with previous versions of CA Automation Point starting with Release 11.3. All notification data that were created in previous releases is retained during an upgrade to Release 11.5.

However, the following limitations apply when accessing notification request entries created with a different version of Notification Manager:

• Notification request entries that are created in a previous version of CA Automation Point do not contain detailed notification status information. This expanded notification status information is only available for requests that are submitted from CA Automation Point Release 11.5.
• Notification request entries utilizing the ASK parameter of the NMFIND program that is created in CA Automation Point Release 11.5 store the answer choices separately from the question text. These answer choices are not available to instances of CA Automation Point Release 11.3 or earlier that share the same Notification Manager database.
