To: CA API Gateway Customers
From: The CA Technologies API Gateway Product Team
Subject: General Availability Announcement for CA API Gateway 9.3.00 Cumulative Release 02 (CR02)

On behalf of CA Technologies, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly announce updated releases and maintenance for our products.

Today, we are pleased to announce the availability of CA API Gateway 9.3.00 CR02. This cumulative release corrects Gateway-specific issues discovered since version 9.3.00 was released. By installing this Cumulative Release, you ensure that your systems are current on resolved issues for version 9.3.00 of the CA API Gateway.

Important notes about this Cumulative Release:

  • 9.3.00 CR02 must be installed on any of the following Gateway versions:
  • 9.3.00
  • 9.3.00 CR01

Ensure a proper snapshot or backup of the Gateway is taken prior to upgrade.

  • 9.3.00 CR02 only updates the Gateway. It does not include a platform upgrade or the monthly patch. Those must still be applied separately.
  • Future cumulative releases, service packs, and full releases for version 9.3.00 will contain all the fixes contained in CR02.
  • This cumulative release includes an upgrade to JDK 1.8.0_172. This version of the JDK deprecates several TLS algorithms that are now considered insecure and not recommended. These algorithms are identified by “3DES_EDE_CBC”. If you need to re-enable these algorithms for compatibility with legacy systems, please follow the instructions under “Issues Resolved in Version 9.3 CR2” in the “Issues Resolved” topic of the Release Notes.
