Subject:  General Availability Announcement for REST API 12.1.07 for CA 7 Workload Automation 12.1

On behalf of Broadcom, 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 release updated versions of our products.  Today, we are pleased to announce that CA 7 REST API 12.1.07 is now available. 

CA 7 REST API is a capability of CA 7 12.1, providing users with a modern interface to interact with CA 7.  This capability helps application developers and automation engineers to automate and integrate existing applications with CA 7 to develop custom solutions.

12.1.07 includes the following updates: 

• Upgraded Tomcat (10.1.40) for its updates and security fixes. 
• Upgraded third-party product dependencies to address security vulnerabilities.
• Upgraded Datacom Server jdbc to release 15.1. Important! Datacom Server 15.0 goes EOS May 31, 2025
• New Agent Credentials Management APIs (initially released in REST API 12.1.06 Interim Update 2 - LU14181):
  • Get Agent credentials status
  • Add Agent credentials
  • Update Agent credentials
  • Delete Agent credentials
• For security optimization, updated H2 to no longer run as a separate process.
• REST API now utilizes H2 embedded with file persistence.  All configuration parameters for H2, including the port, are no longer required and have been removed.

 Important Software Requirements

• REST API 12.1.07 requires Java 17 to run.  You must upgrade to Java 17 before installing this new release.   
• The mainframe component of Datacom Server must be upgraded to release 15.1.  (See the download Readme and/or Release Notes)
• If upgrading from a pre-12.1.06 release, PTF LU12649 is required.
