Cisco Cisco Transport Manager 9.0

This document describes the migration matrix for Cisco Prime Optical and Cisco Transport Manager 
(CTM) service pack releases. This document is updated whenever Cisco releases a new Prime Optical 
or CTM service pack.

Cisco Prime Optical is the new product name for the former Cisco Transport Manager. Throughout this 
document, both product names are used.

Cisco Prime Optical is the product name for release 9.3 and later.

Cisco Transport Manager is the product name for release 9.2 and earlier.

At first customer shipment (FCS), each Prime Optical or CTM release is frozen and a full CD image is 
created. After FCS, patches are released when a bug fix is required. A patch is not a full CD image but 
a set of scripts that run on an existing Prime Optical or CTM installation. A patch replaces files and 
executables, and can launch SQL commands that modify the Prime Optical or CTM database.

Some installation and migration bugs cannot be fixed with a patch because the FCS CD images cannot 
be modified. For example, if the migration from a patched build to an FCS build is broken, the bug cannot 
be fixed in a patch because the migration scripts reside on the FCS CD image of the destination release. 
For this reason, service packs were created. A service pack is similar to a regular patch, but includes a 
set of migration scripts that fix migration-related bugs.
