Supported Versions

With the release of System Automation Tools Version 3.5.2, versions below 3.4.4 are no longer supported. Therefore, we strongly advise that you switch to the current version at your earliest convenience.

If you want to use System Automation Tools Version 3.5.2 together with Entire Output Management Version 3.4.3, update level 11 of Entire Output Management is required.

Migrating from Previous Versions

If you want to migrate environments running Entire Operations Version 5.4 as well as Entire Output Management Version 3.4, you have to upgrade Entire Operations before you upgrade Entire Output Management, because Entire Operations requires System Automation Tools Version 3.5.1 for execution.
