Migration Considerations

Note the following migration upgrade guidelines:

• Before you start, ensure that you have installed the SPM/E portion of the CA Repository for z/OS r7.2. Refer to Chapter 4.
• Make sure that no one is logged on or actively using CA Repository for z/OS.

  You should also notify users not to use the product for the duration of the upgrade.

• Ensure that no CA Repository for z/OS jobs are running.

  The migration upgrade drops and recreates some of the CA Repository for z/OS work tables. You may not be able to restart any work in progress such as CASE loads, migrations, and so on after you install the upgrade.

• Execute the steps in the order presented, as required for your specific migration upgrade unless you have specific instructions from CA Technical Support to do otherwise. For more information, see Migration Upgrade Considerations for Specific Situations.

  Note: Many of the steps are mini-procedures that have a series of tasks that must be performed in order. Complete each task, and be certain that you complete each step successfully before generating or executing JCL for subsequent steps.

• Do not copy information from the screen examples in this guide. Be sure to follow the written instructions that accompany each step.
• Review the generated JCL.

  Many of the installation steps give you the option to review and edit generated JCL prior to submitting it. CA recommends that you always review generated JCL before you submit it.
