Pending Installations

You can configure CA CSM to suspend the installation after the Apply Check or Accept Check step is performed. When the installation is suspended, CA CSM generates a series of pending installation actions.

When you configure CA CSM to suspend the installation after the Apply Check and Accept Check step is performed, the following process takes place:

1. You start the installation process.
2. During the installation, CA CSM executes Apply Check and suspends the installation.
3. CA CSM creates a pending installation action waiting for your input.
4. You review the detailed output of the Apply Check step and perform one of the following actions:
   • If Apply Check does not complete successfully, you take corrective actions and you rerun the step.

     Note: You can roll back the installation. Rollback undoes the previous installation action. CA CSM restores the SMP/E environment to the state before the previous installation action started executing. Any output that the pending installation process created is deleted.

   • If Apply Check completed successfully, you continue the installation.
5. CA CSM continues the installation, executes Accept Check and suspends the installation.
6. CA CSM creates a pending installation action waiting for your input.
7. You review the detailed output of the Accept Check step and perform one of the following actions:
   • If Accept Check does not complete successfully, you take corrective actions and you rerun the step.

     Note: You can roll back the installation. Rollback undoes the previous installation action. CA CSM restores the SMP/E environment to the state before the previous installation action started executing. Any output that the pending installation process created is deleted.

   • If Accept Check completed successfully, you continue the installation. CA CSM runs the remaining installation commands and completes the installation.

     Note: As part of completing the installation, CA CSM runs Accept Check before accepting to help ensure data integrity.

The settings are available on the System Settings, Software Installation page.
