Qtext=Can caArray and caIntegrator2 share the same version of UPT application? |
Atext= |
Both caArray, caIntegrator2 are using UPT /CSM as their provision tools. Since the applications were developed independently, they might be requiring a different versions of UPT and CSM. In order to share the same UPT application, it is important to have the UPT installation to be the highest version required by the applications. UPT is backward compatible to the previous version used by the other applications.

Upgrade UPT without upgrading caArray
Upgrading an existing UPT 3.2 to UPT 4.2 can be done via the automated UPT installer ( GUI or command line). The UPT installers can be downloaded at NCI's gforge site: UPT installers
The UPT installation and deployment section in the CSM Guide outlines the steps to successfully upgrade an existing UPT 3.2 to UPT 4.2.
After UPT is upgraded from 3.2 to 4.2, it is also necessary to change the caArray's Install.Properties file to reflect the new CSM version:
Previous CSM version:
Application CSM Version=3.2
Change to:
Application CSM Version=4.2
