Installation Directories on Linux and UNIX

The structure of the installation directories of Client Automation in Linux and UNIX environments, and the rules and restrictions that apply to them, are described as follows:

Default base path

The default Client Automation installation directory is:

/opt/CA/DSM

The Client Automation installation directory is also referenced by the environment variable $CA_ITRM_BASEDIR.

You can change this default base path when prompted.

Shared components path

Shared components are installed in different directories. The Installer creates directories for each of the shared components by default under the base path:

/opt/CA/SharedComponents

The common components location is also referenced by the environment variable $CASHCOMP, which is set up by the Installer.

Note: $CASHCOMP is shared by all CA products on a computer. If this value has been set (by installing another CA product previously), it will not be possible to change it in the Client Automation installation. The installer will honor the existing settings.

PATH environment variable

You can specify whether you want the system-wide PATH environment variable to be updated or not at the end of the installation. If you do not, you can still set up the path manually after installation, along with other environment variables required for correct operation of Client Automation. To do this in a Bourne/Korn/bash shell, run the command:

# . $CA_ITRM_BASEDIR/scripts/dsmenv

To set up the environment in the C shell, run the command:

# source $CA_ITRM_BASEDIR/scripts/dsmenvcsh
