Question: 

 

Previously, the CA GEN Product Roadmap referenced "Interim Release" for release 8.5.  

When reviewing the r8.5 maintenance grid, there are no references to interim releases. What am I missing about IRs and how they're noted in the grid? 

Environment:  

 

CA GEN, release 8.5

 

Answer: 

 

The link under Support Online entitled 'CA GEN Release and Support Lifecycle Dates' show release 85. has several Incremental Releases.  Please click on the link entitled, 'CA GEN Product Release and Support Announcements'. Please note that there was a terminology change from CA Gen 8.5 "Interim Enhancement" #1 to CA Gen 8.5 "Incremental Release" #1. Please know that only the IE #1 contains the mainframe PTFs. It is important that our Mainframe Customers using CA GEN 8.5 has "Interim Enhancement 1" as part of your environment. That is the only one needed applicable for the mainframe.
