Supported Upgrade Paths

If you are upgrading from a previous release of Data Aggregator, upgrade your components. You always upgrade the CA Performance Center, Data Aggregator, and Data Collector components. Upgrade Data Repository when you are upgrading to the releases identified in the table that follows.

Important! If you are upgrading from Release 2.0.00 to Release 2.4, upgrade to Release 2.1.00, upgrade to Release 2.2.x, and then upgrade to Release 2.3, first.
