Upgrading from CA Plex r5.5 SP1

You do not need to regenerate existing Java functions if you are upgrading from r5.5 SP1 (Build 5.5.93).

The CA Plex r7.1 Java run time (obrun.jar) is backwards compatible with earlier releases. You can use the new runtime with functions created at r5.5 and previous releases. This enables you to take advantage of fixes and improvements in the new runtime without necessarily upgrading to the full CA Plex r7.1.
