I'm curious about something. The last time I was going to upgrade CA11,
either in 2004 or 2005, they made you use Datacom as the database, instead
of a PDS. I remember getting so frustrated with the install, that I decided
to install something else instead. By the time I would have tried
installing it next, the datacenter put a freeze on all upgrades because of
its coming demise and being moved to another state running SAP/R3. My
question is: Does CA11 work ok with datacom?

Subject: Re: Using CA-JOBTRAC V11 SP3 in Production
We do currently have Jobtrac v11 SP3 running in production, but it
hasn't been the most stable or reliable version by any means. The
addition of Datacom was a challenge on the install, and has added more
overhead and pain as well. Reporting used to be a lot easier to deal
with, and response time for some commands is now outrageous thanks to
Datacom.
Also, we had one instance where a job abended but Jobtrac marked it as
complete, so I opened a ticket with CA. Their answer was pretty much
that they didn't know what happened, and since I was never able to
recreate the problem, they said it's working like it's supposed to.
Essentially, they blew off the whole issue. If it were possible to go
back and run 3.5 unsupported, I'd be very, very tempted. It was
rock-solid and never gave us anything near the grief we've had so far
with R11...
