Upgrade from a 12.x Release or Service Pack

This topic explains the upgrade actions to take for reports if you have a CA Clarity PPM version older than Release 12.1.

There are no new user or security configurations; Release 13.3 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:

Preupgrade:

• If you used any CA Clarity PPM universe objects, create a custom universe and link it to the CA Clarity PPM universe. The CA Clarity PPM universe is overwritten when the new Release 13.3 universes are installed.
• If you previously purchased the GSE Universes from CA Services, these universes are not overwritten by the Release 13.3 out-of-the-box universes
• If you modified any out-of-the-box reports, export them to a BIAR file.

Post-Upgrade:

• If you decide to continue using the old reports, see the instructions about reactivating legacy stock report definitions in the topic "Reports."

  Manually reschedule the scheduled reports. Scheduled reports that were configured before the upgrade to Release 13.3 do not automatically run after the upgrade.

• Synchronize the user lists in BusinessObjects and CA Clarity PPM by running the Create Business Objects Users job. If the job is not run, a CA Clarity PPM user must have a BusinessObjects account created to run or open a report.

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