Subject: Stabilization Announcement for CA DADS Plus for CICS

CA Technologies is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. As a part of our regular product planning cycle, we have reviewed the position of CA DADS Plus for CICS in the marketplace, from both a sales and technology perspective. We have discovered that while this product still provides useful functions to some customers, its value to most customers and prospective customers in the market has declined significantly over the past few years. Therefore, we have decided to stabilize CA DADS Plus for CICS effective immediately.

Functionally stabilizing a product means that there will be no new releases or further enhancements to this product. However, maintenance and support for this product will continue in accordance with your active maintenance contract.

If you have any questions regarding the support schedule, please visit CA Support Online (https://support.ca.com) for the appropriate product or contact your local CA Technologies Account Manager, CA Customer Success Manager, or CA Customer Care associate at +1-800-225-5224 in North America or see http://www.ca.com/phone for the local number in your country.

Your success is very important to us, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with you.
