If you have CA Clarity PPM 12.1.0.2, apply CA Clarity PPM 12.1.0.8 first to upgrade to Release 14.2.
If you have CA Clarity PPM 12.1.3.4, we recommend that you apply CA Clarity PPM 12.1.3.6 first to upgrade to Release 14.2.
If you have CA Clarity PPM 12.1.3.6, you can directly upgrade to Release 14.2.

Important! If you are on a CA Clarity PPM patch level that is not included in the preceding list, take care when attempting an upgrade to Release 14.2. Issues can result if you try to upgrade to Release 14.2 from a patch level that is not supported. For best results, wait for a supported upgrade path to a later release or patch. To find out more, contact CA Support or your CA Services representative. Also, visit the CA PPM Community to collaborate with your community members.

The Release 14.2 installer can upgrade your data set from various older releases. The installer detects how many incremental upgrade paths are required to update your installation to Release 14.2.

Note: If you are running a version earlier than Release 12.1.1, consider upgrading to 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3 before you upgrade to Release 14.2. Although the interim upgrade is not required, it simplifies the troubleshooting and restart process if an upgrade step fails.
