Migrate Installation Packages Downloaded External to CA CSM

If you have acquired product pax files by means other than through CA CSM, you can add information about these product installation packages to CA CSM from the Software Catalog tab.

Migrating these packages to CA CSM provides a complete view of all your product releases. After a package is migrated, you can use CA CSM to install the product.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Software Catalog tab, and click Insert New Product.

   Note: A product not acquired from the CA Support Online website does not appear in Software Catalog until you perform this step.

   An entry is added for the product.

2. Select the product gen level (for example, SP0 or 0110) for which the package applies.

   The packages for the gen level are listed.

3. Click the Add External Package button.

   You are prompted to enter a path for the package.

4. Specify the USS path to the package you want to migrate, and click OK.

   Information about the package is saved in the CA CSM database.

   Note: To see the added package, refresh the page.
