1.51

This release of CA CloudMinder includes these new and changed features.

Support for PostgreSQL as Runtime and Report Databases

New CA CloudMinder installations can use PostgreSQL as an alternative to Oracle.

For information on how to install PostgreSQL, see Order of Component Installation in the Installation Guide.

Note: Upgrades from Oracle to PostgreSQL are not supported.

Automatic Backup of Property Files by the Installer

Most CA CloudMinder server components use a properties file during installation. The properties file includes information, such as user names, passwords, and host names, that enables components to communicate with one another.

In previous versions, administrators had to back up the properties file to a /tmp directory manually.

The automated backup removes passwords to increase security.

For more information about property file backups, see Properties Files.

Simplified Tenant Deployment Procedures

In previous releases, host administrators had to complete additional configuration steps after creating a tenant environment. In this release, manual configuration steps have been eliminated to simplify the deployment process.

Changes to CA SiteMinder Realms and SSO Authentication Methods

To automate steps in tenant deployment, the resource URLs in the following table have changed.

Important! The changes to CA SiteMinder realms and SSO authentication methods only affect new installations. If you are upgrading existing environments, you do not need to change your deployment.

Changes to the resource URLs are reflected in the documentation in this release.

WorkPoint 3.5 Support

WorkPoint 3.5 requires eXtended Architecture (XA).

If you are upgrading to this release, see Database Upgrade in the Upgrade Guide for instructions on how to configure the database to support XA.
