Upgrade from Release 12.1 or Service Pack 12.1.1

If you previously purchased the GSE Universes from CA Services, these universes are not overwritten by the Release 13.1 out-of-the-box universes.

There are no new user or security configurations; Release 13.1 uses the same CABI requirements and trusted authentication integration with CA Clarity PPM as Release 12.1 and Service Pack 12.1.1.

Upgrade Actions:

Pre-Upgrade:

• If you modified any out-of-the-box reports, move the modified reports to a custom report folder on the BusinessObjects server before upgrading.

Post-Upgrade:

• Manually restart scheduled reports. Scheduled reports that were configured before the upgrade to Release 13.1 will not automatically run after the upgrade.
• Synchronize the users that are not already in Business Objects, and run the Create Business Objects Users job. If the job is not run, a CA Clarity PPM user cannot run or open a report unless a BusinessObject account is created explicitly for the user.

  The job creates a user in BusinessObjects for every user in CA Clarity PPM. The user created in BusinessObjects is given an encrypted password. If users want to log in to the BusinessObjects server using the assigned password, the user ID and password must be reset under BusinessObjects Administration.
