Upgrade Considerations

Consider the following when upgrading:

CA Deliver Release 12.2 is available to all CA Deliver customers with active maintenance contracts.
No specific license is required to upgrade to Release 12.2.
CA Deliver Release 12.2 supports CA View databases that are versioned at CA View Release 12.2, Release 12.1, Version 12.0, Release 11.7, and Release 11.6.
If you are using CA View, CA Deliver Release 12.2 is downward compatible with CA View Release 12.1, Version 12.0, Release 11.7, and Release 11.6.
XMS and the CA Deliver direct archival can concurrently browse or archive to CA View databases versioned at Release 12.2, Release 12.1, Version 12.0, Release 11.7, and Release 11.6.
CA Deliver Version 12.0 introduced a new feature that permits the use of more special characters in the Report ID. This feature is available only for the databases that are upgraded to a minimum of Version 12.0. This added special character support is not downward compatible. Avoid using these additional special characters, until all associated CA View databases are upgraded to at least CA View Version 12.0.
The following help text panels were added for new features in CA Deliver 12.2:
- RMOP02P
- RMO92
- RMO93
