Subject: General Availability Announcement for CA OPS/MVS® Event Management and Automation 14.0 0000
On behalf of CA Technologies, a Broadcom Company, we are pleased to announce the Generally Available (GA) Continuous Delivery (CD) release of CA OPS/MVS® Event Management and Automation (CA OPS/MVS) 14.0 0000. We will enhance this version using the CD model, which provides new features and product fixes to you faster with easier deployment.
In the CD release model:
- Enhancements are delivered in the maintenance service stream as feature PTFs. New product features and fixes are no longer bundled together.
- Where applicable, enhancements are delivered disabled to give you more control over when and how the features are implemented. With new features disabled, you control when to make the new features available for use in your environment. An explicit action is required to enable the feature.
- Product validation programs are available so that you can influence feature design and test new features and capabilities before they are made generally available (GA). For more information about these programs, go to validate.broadcom.com.
- Individual product fixes are provided when needed, separate from product features. You can apply product fixes without enabling new features, which limits exposure to additional features being applied in a production environment.
By installing CA OPS/MVS 14.0, you will be able to take advantage of new security features including cross-system authorization and extended resource name character length, as well as the enhanced user experience of the MTC-A interfaces to meet the latest business standards with customizable components based on your previous presets and usage.
We have included a release notes list that details the features and highlights of this release in the CA OPS/MVS product information page on the Broadcom Support Online website at https://support.broadcom.com/ for more information.
