Preparing for Installation › Concurrent Releases

Concurrent Releases

You can install the current release of CA SYSVIEW and can 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 the following conditioning maintenance:
  • PTF RO25530 for CA SYSVIEW 12.5
  • PTF RO25023 for CA SYSVIEW 12.7
• When you acquire your product with ESD:
  • Select a different target zone from your currently installed release.
  • Select a different distribution zone from your currently installed release.

  The new zones use different libraries than your current release.

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

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