Preparing for Installation › Concurrent Releases

Concurrent Releases

You can install this release of CA SYSVIEW and continue to use an older release for your production environment. If you plan to continue to run a previous release, consider the following points:

• When installing into an existing SMP/E environment, this installation deletes previous releases.
• The SVC module GSVXSVC is downward compatible. If you plan on sharing the SVC with prior releases of CA SYSVIEW, apply conditioning maintenance (PTF RO25530 for CA SYSVIEW 12.5 or PTF RO25023 for CA SYSVIEW 12.7).
• If you acquired your product from tape or with Pax-Enhanced ESD, select different target and distribution zones for your new release from where your current release is installed. The new zones use different libraries than your current release.

  Note: CA CSM installs into a new CSI by default.

• Define DDDEF entries in your new zones to point SMP/E to the proper libraries for installation. Be sure that they point to the new release libraries.
