Upgrade from Previous Releases

The XcomAPI and XcomQAPI distributed with previous releases of CA XCOM Data Transport have changed for this release. If you have versions of XcomAPI and XcomQAPI that were distributed before this release, recompile your CA XCOM Data Transport applications with the current version.

The XcomAPI distributed with previous versions of CA XCOM Data Transport is different from this API. If you have versions of the API that were distributed prior to this version, recompile your CA XCOM Data Transport applications with the current version.

The following changes have been made to the API:

• CA XCOM Data Transport now uses the following APIs:
  • XcomAPI
  • XcomQAPI
  • msgstring
  • XsetSystemPriv
• In previous releases, API users used CA XCOM Data Transport static/archive libraries (libxcom.a, libxcomtcp.a, libxcomtxpi.a, and libxcomcomp.a) to compile and link custom applications. Now, you must use a shared library (libxcomshared.so) to compile and link your custom applications. Therefore, API users can use libxcomshared.so to perform CA XCOM Data Transport transfers.
