Report Configurations and Product Updates

When you install updates (patches, service packs, or other updates) to CA APM, the update process overwrites the existing product components, including in some cases the reporting components. As a result, any reporting configurations you previously made may be lost. However, CA Technologies provides you with a method to retain your report configurations when you apply CA APM updates. Follow the instructions in a CA Technologies-provided white paper, which you can open from http://ca.com/support.

Under Technical Support, navigate to the product page for CA Technologies IT Asset Manager. Search the Recommended Reading list for White Paper: Reporting Components Upgrade and Version Control to Retain Customizations. You can safeguard your report configurations by implementing the strategy outlined in the white paper.

Note: See the CA Business Intelligence Implementation Guide for information about configuring reports.
