Control-M/Server PACTV.9.0.20.201

BMC is announcing the release of an updated 9.0.20.200. This updated release prevents the occurrence of various upgrade issues that were discovered in the initial release of 9.0.20.200 from October 2021. You can install this new release if you have not yet installed the previous release.

If you have already installed the initial release of 9.0.20.200, keep the current installation and do not install the updated 9.0.20.200 release. Instead, BMC is announcing the release of two patches that you must install to prevent future upgrade issues — PANFT.9.0.20.201 for Control-M/EM and PACTV.9.0.20.201 for Control-M/Server.
