Upgrading from Previous Releases

Use these instructions to upgrade to CA Deliver Release 12.1 from CA Deliver Release 11.6, Release 11.7, or Version 12.0. The instructions consist of the original steps and a series of modifications.

To upgrade to Release 12.1, use the steps in these chapters:

• "Installing Your Product Using CA CSM", "Installing Your Product From Pax-Enhanced Electronic Software Delivery", or "Installing Your Product From DVD"
• "Configuring Your Product"
• "Installing Online Interfaces,"
• "Installing Features"

The steps must be modified according to the supplementary instructions in the tables in the following sections:

• Installation Steps to Upgrade to Release 12.1
• Configuration Steps to Upgrade to Release 12.1

Be aware that existing Release 11.6, Release 11.7, or Version 12.0 users are going to install the product using almost the same methods, as new users, with one exception—instead of creating a database you are going to version your existing database. This process updates several records in the database and is expected to execute in a few minutes.

Before upgrading your CA Deliver database, be certain that:

• The started task from the previous release has been withdrawn from the system by one of these methods:
  • The F RMOSTC,OFF operator command has been entered
  • An initial program load of the system was performed
• All application jobs containing reports that are distributed by CA Deliver are completed before CA Deliver Release 12.1 is started.
• All bundles have been completed.
• The following data entry panels were changed by Version 12.0:
  • RMOP00
  • RMOP8
  • RMOP8B
  • RMOP8BRD
  • RMOP8RD
  • RMOP8T
  • RMOP8TRD
  • RMOP9PR1
  • RMOP9PR2
  • RMOP9P1
  • RMOP9P2

  Additional help text panels were changed to reflect new features added to Version 12.0.

Important! Failure to follow these procedures can result in lost bundles and abends in your application jobs.

Note: To revert to Version 12.0, Release 11.7, or Release 11.6 see the chapter Reverting to a Previous Installation.
