OK - We'll give it a few more minutes and if no more questions we'll wrap up for this month. Questions?
from Ray Cerniglia to Everyone:
The organization I currently support is using SDM r12.7. I am looking for recommendations for which release of SDM to migrate to considering on the ease of upgrade, least risk and the impact to the end user experience (Employee and Analyst). Where is the best place to find this information?
from sharath to Everyone:
Q3: SDM is AA configuration and we use SDM App1 to integrate USS with service desk. Is it possible to use Loadbalancer instead i use directly any of the servicedesk server
from sharath to Everyone:
We use the USS datasource and given appl tomcat since the integration works with webservices. HOw we can achieve to direct this to load balancer.. For us its F5.. any documentation please
from Paul Coccimiglio (CA) to Everyone:
@Ray - we would suggest to upgrade to the latest CA SDM 14.1 release to take advantage of the new features and functionality. In terms of upgrade effort and impact, upgrading from CA SDM 12.7 would be the same no matter which CA SDM release you upgrade to
from Ray Cerniglia to Everyone:
Are there many differences in the user interface?
from Paul Coccimiglio (CA) to Everyone:
@Sharath - Architeture type questions are difficult to provide a definite answer via this forum since there are many factors that need to be considered. We would suggest engaging with your CA Account team to arrange a discussion with a CA Services Architect to discuss your requirements and possible options
from Paul Coccimiglio (CA) to Everyone:
@Ray - there are no major changes to the Employee/Analyst interface with CA SDM 14.1. However, we do have Unified Self Service (USS) available in CA SDM 14.1, which would be a new interface if you decided to implement it
from sharath to Everyone:
OK Paul
from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:
Any more questions for today?
from Andrea Holmes to Everyone:
Any recommendations on the BEST thing to see at CA World
from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:

from Ray Cerniglia to Everyone:
Thank you Paul and Sharath. I will reach out to our CA Account team. My preference would be to move to latest release.
