Question:
We're planning to upgrade our SOA environment 12.1SP2 to 12.8 and we'd
like to know if the SOA Agent 12.1SP2 will work with the Policy Server
12.8 ?
Answer:
At first glance, this SOA Agent 12.1SP2 will be still supported with
your Policy Server 12.8, but we strongly recommend you to upgrade the
SOA Agents to the lastest version 12.52SP1CR09, referencing the EOS
document :
CA SOA Security Manager r12.1 (includes all Service Packs and
Cumulative Releases) End of Service Announcement
"While this particular End of Service does not cover these
components, no new certifications for r12.1 (including all Service
Packs and Cumulative Releases) for these components will be executed
after December 31, 2016.

Agent for Application Servers Upgrade Paths At this time we encourage
you to plan for your migration. The recommended no-charge software
upgrade option for customers running CA SOA Security Manager 12.1
should upgrade to either CA Web Services Security Manager 12.51 or the
more recent 12.52 release."
