1 Localized documentation is also available for all the languages listed with the exception of Simplified Chinese. While the PAM 4.1 product has been localized for Simplified Chinese, localized documentation for Simplified Chinese is not available.
Earlier version CA IT PAM 3.0 also supported localizations for Hungarian, Polish, and Russian. If you upgrade from 3.0 to 4.1, and are currently using the Hungarian, Polish, or Russian locales, you will need to change to a supported locale. Content prepared under CA IT PAM 3.0, will continue to be usable.
2 Database servers (Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server) can be located on another host than the corresponding PAM Orchestrator. PAM Orchestrators interact with the Database servers exclusively through the corresponding JDBC drivers. As a result, there are no constraints on supported platforms for Database servers other than those imposed by the Database server vendor.
Starting with PAM 4.0, database servers must be configured to enable extended transactions (XA). Supported versions of Oracle and MySQL do this by default, but for SQL Server configuration changes as described in the PAM 4.1 Installation Guide may be required.
3 Oracle bug # 9347941
Important! When running with versions of the Oracle RDBMS prior to release 11.1.0.7 CA Process Automation would occasionally hit known Oracle RDBMS defect 9347941 in which concurrent inserts of CLOB data where the individual column values exceed 52K bytes in size may occasionally have such columns updated incorrectly with data past the 52K offset replaced by spaces. This issue has been seen using both 10g and earlier 11g versions of the Oracle RDBMS.
The symptom most commonly observed with CA Process Automation is that a CA Process Automation process would become stuck, and that the Operator the process is stuck on would need to be reset for the process to continue. Problem is infrequent and is only seen with extremely high rates of update contention.
This has not been seen when running either version 11.1.0.7 or 11.2.0.2 of Oracle, and It is recommended that sites using Oracle for their CA Process Automation databases be running version 11.1.0.7 or 11.2.0.2 or later.
4 Usually where a version of an OS or Database is supported, all Service Packs for that version are supported also. If a component of the version is shown as x, then all releases matching that pattern are supported (E.g. Firefox 4.x indicates support for 4.1, 4.2, etc).
Please check product "Compatibilities" on support.ca.com to confirm support for a specific maintenance level.
5 For PAM Orchestrators, Microsoft Windows Server Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter Editions are supported.
6 Windows patch 979306 is required.
7 JavaScript engine provided with IE8 is significantly slower than those provided with other supported browsers, and because of this support for IE8 has been withdrawn for this release.
8 Oracle Java versions 1.6.0_27 (6u27) though 1.6.0_29 (6u29) contained bug 7105007 which affects applications, including CA Process Automation (PAM), which use JDBC to connect to Microsoft SQL Server. Please avoid this version of Java when using PAM with Microsoft SQL Server.
9 CA PAM 4.1 embeds the EEM 8.4 SP4 SDK to access EEM services. Use of EEM r12 features is therefore limited to features supported by the EEM 8.4 SP4 SDK. New features implemented in EEM r12 such as configuring the EEM Server for multiple Domains are therefore not supported. Please see the EEM documentation, or contact EEM support for possible alternatives when use of an EEM r12 only feature is required.
10 The Catalyst 3.3 container embedded within PAM does not support Java 7. If you need to use Catalyst Connectors with PAM please use the Java 6 SDK with your Orchestrators.
