Installing Products › Select an SMP/E Environment

Select an SMP/E Environment

You select the SMP/E environment where you want to install your product in. You can create an SMP/E environment, or you can select an existing SMP/E environment from your working set. You can configure your working set from the SMP/E Environments tab.

While working with a particular SMP/E environment, the SMP/E environment is locked and other CA CSM users cannot perform any action against it. When the task finishes, logging out from CA CSM, or a CA CSM session is inactive for more than 10 minutes, the lock releases.

If you select an SMP/E environment being used in CA CSM by another user, a notification message appears. You are prevented from performing any actions on the SMP/E environment. You can either wait until the notification message disappears and the SMP/E environment becomes available, or click Cancel to select another SMP/E environment.

Follow these steps:

1. On the SMP/E Environment step, substep 1, take one of the following steps:
   • Click Create a New SMP/E Environment to create an SMP/E environment.
   • Select an existing SMP/E environment from your working set.
     • If no existing SMP/E environment appears, exit the wizard, configure your working set, and restart the wizard.
     • If your product has the installed prerequisites, the SMP/E environment with the installed prerequisites that you selected at the Prerequisites step of the wizard is preselected for you. You cannot select another SMP/E environment. You cannot create a new SMP/E environment.
2. Click Next.

   You are prompted to set up the SMP/E environment.
