Issue/Introduction

Question:  

In our Production Environment we currently run CA 7 Release 11.3.  We want to upgrade our Production Environment to CA 7 Release 12.0.  Do we have to execute CAIRIM to initialize Version 12.0 at the same time? 

Answer: 

CA 7 Release 11.3 CAIRIM is upward compatible with CA 7 Release 12.0  Likewise CA 7 12.0 CAIRIM is downward compatible with CA 7 Release 11.3
