CA Process Automation Release 04.2.00

CA Process Automation Release 04.2.00 includes the following enhancements and improvements:

• To move a new process and all of its objects from one Orchestrator to another, export a folder as a content package and then import the resulting file. This new method replaces the use of the deprecated Package automation object. For an introduction to content package, see Content Management Enhancements.
• To keep your database from filling up with obsolete reports, you can now purge aged reporting data from the UI. For details about purging and other ease-of-use improvements, see User Experience Improvements.
• To reduce a potential threat of misuse, the Invoke Java operator is now restricted to running on agents. For details about this and enhanced documentation on return Java types, see Java-Related Improvements.
• To take advantage of new CA EEM features, upgrade CA EEM before you install or upgrade CA Process Automation. For details about changes to CA EEM that impact CA Process Automation, see CA EEM r12.51 Support
• You will find that CA Process Automation 4.2 works faster than it did in previous releases. For highlights on some important changes in this area, see Performance Improvements.
• To take advantage of simplified communication between agents and a clustered Orchestrator, use a load balancer that supports web socket connections. For an overview of support for NGINX and configuration changes, see Communication Improvements.
• For high availability, all nodes of a clustered Domain Orchestrator now act as only the primary node used to act. For an overview of changes related to the removal of the dependency on a primary node, see Clustering Improvements.
• For an overview of changes that reduce threats, see Security Improvements.
• The Orchestrator installation wizard now lets you specify a connection string to connect to an Oracle database server and also allows you to specify a SQL Server instance as a Database Server. See Database Server Improvements
