Backward Compatibility and Encryption

CA View Version 12.0 can access r11.7, r11.6, r11.5, and r11 CA View database versions and can read all the previous versions of the report data that are found on tape.

Important! If you revert to a previous release of CA View, compatibility PTFs must be applied as follows:

Release 11.7

Apply PTF RO48419 and RO48420 to be sure that Release 11.7 can read Release 11.7 and Version 12.0 databases (due to Version 12.0 features).

Release 11.6

Apply PTF RO48478 and RO48479 to be sure that Release 11.6 can read Release 11.6 and Version 12.0 databases (due to Version 12.0 features).

Apply PTF RO28310 to be sure that Release 11.6 can read Release 11.7 and Version 12.0 tapes (due to encryption changes).

Release 11.5

Apply PTF RO49072 and RO49073 to be sure that Release 11.5 can read Release 11.6, Release 11.7 and Version 12.0 databases (due to Version 12.0 features).

Apply PTF RO17278 and PTF RO31552 to be sure that Release 11.5 can read Release 11.6, Release 11.7, and Version 12.0 tapes (due to encryption changes).

Starting in Release 11.6 of CA View, report data on disk and tape can be encrypted if you enabled encryption using the ENCRYPT initialization parameter.
