Install in a Test Environment

Use a test system to perform your installation and initial evaluations of the product.

Business Value:

Evaluating the product in a test environment lets you detect any possible problems before you roll out the product to a production system. This practice will help ensure a seamless transition to the new release.

Additional Considerations:

New releases of CA Spool can be installed in different SMP/E zones or data sets to allow a new release to run on a test system while the old release continues to run on production systems.

More Information:

Be sure to review the Upgrade Considerations section and the "Migrating Considerations" chapter in the CA Spool Installation Guide prior to upgrading CA Spool.
