Hi,
The version 12.7.144 do not exists. If you are referring to the version 12.7. 744 from 2012, this old version was delivered with this anomaly.
The actual GA version is CA Vantage 14.0 Client 12.7.871.3.
The version 12.7.753 has reestablished the missing menu bar entries you are seeing in the new version.
So it is good that you use the new version with the correct options you should have had since a while.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Regards,
Pierre
