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 select an existing SMP/E environment from your working set. You can configure your working set from the SMP/E Environments tab.

While you are 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, or when you log out from CA CSM, or when your 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 or create a new SMP/E environment.
2. Click Next.

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