Revert to a Previous Release

If you have CA Spool Version 12.0 encrypted reports and have to revert to CA Spool Release 11.6 or Release 11.7 without encryption, do the following:

  1. Run the ESFSPTP utility with ENCRYPT=NO against the CA Spool Version 12.0 system to unload all reports.

    Note: To be able to use ENCRYPT=NO parameter ESFSPTP must be executed from an APF authorized library and requestor's userid has to have read access to SAFTYPE 12, 13 and 14.

  2. Restart CA Spool Release 11.6 or Release 11.7 system with a COLD start.
  3. Reload the ESFSPTP backup to the CA Spool Release 11.6 or Release 11.7 system.

Note: If you have no CA Spool Version 12.0 encrypted reports and have to revert to CA Spool Release 11.6 or Release 11.7, restart CA Spool Release 11.6 or Release 11.7 on the same spool configuration. If Version 12.0, Release 11.7, and Release 11.6 have encrypted reports and you have to revert back to Release 11.6 or Release 11.7, restart CA Spool Release 11.6 or Release 11.7 on the same spool configuration.
