Syncsort Capacity Management v12.80
Announcement
Precisely announces the release of Syncsort Capacity Management v12.80.
Syncsort Capacity Management ensures that IT infrastructure resources are consistently available to meet the requirements of modern businesses. Syncsort Capacity Management is designed to work in both on premise and hybrid cloud environments, addressing the ongoing challenges of managing IT infrastructure in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
Upgrade Considerations for Syncsort Capacity Management v12.80
Reviewing Application Pool Identity
Before initiating the upgrade to 12.80, it is recommended to review the application pool identity settings. The identity will be updated automatically during the migration process, so verifying these settings in advance can help ensure a smooth transition.
Consulting Release Documentation
For further details regarding the upgrade process, refer to the UPGRADEHOTFIX-README.txt file included with your release files. This document contains important information that may assist you during installation.
Verifying Installation Requirements
Additional installation requirements are outlined in the "Requirements" section of the Syncsort Capacity Management User Guide. Reviewing this section prior to installation will help confirm that your environment meets all necessary prerequisites.
Enhanced Features in Syncsort Capacity Management v12.80
Service Management Improvements
The Portal now offers a streamlined approach for managing services. Users can handle service-related tasks directly through the Portal, removing the need to log into secured platforms. This enhancement improves operational efficiency and simplifies workflows.
Selective Deletion for z/OS Summarization
A new option has been introduced for z/OS summarization, allowing users to selectively delete batch job data. This feature provides greater control over data management and helps maintain an organized working environment.
Improved Integrator Data Access
Access to Integrator Data information has been refined, resulting in a more efficient process for retrieving and analyzing data. These improvements reduce the time and effort required to work with Integrator Data.
Threshold profiles can be defined for Integrator Data
A Threshold Profile is established by choosing relevant metrics and specifying warning values that indicate when these thresholds are approached.
This release can be upgraded from Syncsort Capacity Management v12.00-v12.70* but still requires an uninstall and reinstall from other earlier versions. Precisely strongly encourages customers to stay current by upgrading to this latest release.
