Operating Systems

CA SDM Release 12.7 supports a number of 64-bit operating systems. CA supports each operating system for the duration of its lifecycle (as determined by its manufacturer) or until CA announces that we no longer support it.

CA SDM supports upgrade to Release 12.7 from r11.2, r12.0, r12.1, r12.5, and r12.6 for all supported platforms.

For Windows, you can upgrade directly to CA SDM Release 12.7 from r11.2, r12.0, r12.1, r12.5, and r12.6.

If you installed CA SDM on Linux or UNIX, you can upgrade to CA SDM Release 12.7 only from r12.5 and r12.6. If your installation runs on an earlier version of the product, such as r11.2, r12.0 and r12.1 on Linux/UNIX, you must upgrade to CA SDM r12.5 and move CA SDM to a supported platform and Database before upgrading to CA SDM Release 12.7.

Consider the following operating system information:

• CA SDM requires 8.3 File Name Creation.

  Note: For detailed information about configuring File Name Creation and the disable8dot3 registry entry, see the Online Help and support documentation for your operating system.

• CA EEM for Linux and UNIX must be installed from a command line. If you attempt to install CA EEM from the CA SDM installation media, Product Installs option, a message informs you to use a command line for installation. The command-line install uses a self-extracting shell script that guides you through the installation process.
