The installation process has been streamlined by instituting image-based deployment of the v13.0 database. In previous versions of CA Clarity PPM, database objects were created at the time of installation. With v13.0, a fully populated database image is imported by the database administrator. When the v13.0 installation is pointed to the imported database and CA Clarity PPM services are started, installation is complete. This new process greatly reduces the overall time to perform a new installation.
The upgrade process has also been improved. Prior to v13.0, the current installation directory was upgraded directly. With v13.0, this is no longer the case. In a v13.0 upgrade, the installation is deployed to an empty directory. The benefit of this method is the assurance of a healthy file system because only the files necessary for CA Clarity PPM v13.0 are present. Any customization can be managed to help ensure it is ported to the new installation directory, if appropriate.
Lastly, with v13.0 the Beacon service must always be running on the application server or it cannot be managed from CA Clarity System Administration (CSA).
