Install CA CSM

This section describes tasks that you perform to upgrade to the latest version of CA CSM.

The installation utility MSMSetup.sh uses the contents of the options file MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties to tailor the overall process. The utility sets up an Apache Tomcat application server, the CA Datacom/MSM database, the CA CSM service components, and the web-based interface. The utility creates and sets up a runtime environment for CA CSM.

The upgrade process does not update or delete any previous CA Datacom/MSM data. The upgrade process only backs up your current CA Datacom/MSM environment. This process includes creating a new (latest) CA CSM version environment and populating it with your existing data (previous CA CSM version) that was backed up and converted.

At the start, the utility checks if data sets and USS folders with the values set in option parameters exist. If they exist, the utility prompts you to overwrite the previous installation files or exit the installation.

The utility validates whether the previous version values for the SMP/E installation, run-time, and database parameters are different. The upgrade related jobs and steps are performed based on the installation mode.

The utility also validates that the mount point manager data set HLQ and pathnames are identical to the values in the new options file.

If any keywords are not set correctly, the MSMSetup.sh process ends with a list of options in error. Correct the values of the options, and rerun MSMSetup.sh.

If the installation process fails, you can restart it from the point of failure or you can start the process from the beginning. If you updated any keyword in the options file MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties when resolving a previously failed execution, you must start the installation from the beginning. Otherwise, the new keywords will not be processed.

The utility verifies availability of port numbers that are passed through the options file. If they are reserved, already in use or unavailable for other reasons, the utility prompts you to use the provided values and continue the installation.
