CA Datacom/AD Database Issues

Discuss the following issues with your CA Datacom/AD administrator:

CA Datacom/AD r11 was supplied with ReportCenter r11.5 through Release 12.1. You do not need to reinstall CA Datacom/AD r11 to upgrade to ReportCenter Release 12.1. You can continue to use the existing CA Datacom/AD r11 database unchanged when you upgrade.
ReportCenter r11 was shipped with CA Datacom/AD Version 10.0. While ReportCenter Release 12.1 works with CA Datacom/AD Version 10.0, the End-of-Support date for CA Datacom/AD is September 2008. If you install newer versions of CA Common Services for z/OS, compatibility issues can arise between these versions and the older versions of CA Datacom/AD. While you can keep using your CA Datacom/AD Version 10.0 ReportCenter database with Release 12.1, we recommend that you plan an eventual migration to the most recent CA Datacom/AD.
ReportCenter Release 12.1 can use your current CA Datacom/AD production database by performing the following steps:
1. Retain your current CA Datacom/AD implementation, including the same JCL procedures that start the MUF and the server.
2. Specify the path where you installed the HFS modules at CA Datacom/AD installation time. See installation jobs AX22MKD and AX23CSIU. These modules are no longer supplied in the …wr76/datacom directory.
3. Specify the current CA Datacom Server name, application ID, and CCI system ID in the CA Datacom section of the REPORTCENTER parameter group.
