Pending Installation Considerations

Pending installation affects the SMP/E environment where it is executed in the following ways:

If there are pending installations in the SMP/E environment, CA CSM prevents you from installing other products to that environment. To install other products to the environment, complete or roll back the pending installation first.
If you configured CA CSM to suspend installation after the Apply Check finishes, the product data is populated to the global zone. No data is populated to the target zones yet. At that stage, the product does not appear under the corresponding SMP/E environment in the catalog tree on the left side, and on the SMP/E Environments, Installed Products tab. You cannot apply any maintenance to the product.
After the product is applied in the target zone, the product appears in the catalog tree and on the SMP/E Environments, Installed Products tab. You cannot apply any maintenance to this product until you complete the pending installation.
