Hello everyone,
Meeting in MAA documentation that no longer supports SQL Server, but the installation process the option to choose between Oracle and SQL Server are still present. Can I use this option to work with SQL Server?
Hi Martin,
Good question
Yes the Release Notes & Supportability Matrix state Oracle only (15.4 also supported SQL Server 2012 & 2014)
CA MAA Release Notes - CA Mobile App Analytics® - 16.1 - CA Technologies Documentation
Supportability Matrix - CA Mobile App Analytics® - 16.1 - CA Technologies Documentation
I checked internally and SQL Server support has definitely been withdrawn for 16.1 so please assume the installer was not correctly updated and choose the Oracle option.
I will also download it and confirm myself & then raise a Defect with Engineering.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention
Regards,
Lynn
I confirmed your observations in-house and I will raise a defect with Engineering
Also the 16.1 wiki still has references to "SQL Server" in the install/upgrade sections, so I have asked for those to be removed as well.
SQL support is to be added back to MAA 16.1 as a patch.
UPDATE:
There has been a change of plans and due to low customer demand SQL Server support will now NOT BE added back as a MAA 16.1 patch. Going forward additional RDBMS support is being looked at to supplement existing support for Oracle.
