CA Technologies installer standard allows customers to define their individual product installation folder for the Packager.
The home directory of the Installer can be defined through the parameter $INSTALLER_DIR. If this parameter is set prior to the first installation of a PIF product, the Installer will choose the value of this parameter as its installation folder.
If the parameter $INSTALLER_DIR is not set, but other CA products have been installed into the Shared components folder and have exported the referring parameter $CASHCOMP, the Installer uses $CASHCOMP/installer as its home directory.
The Installer does not set $CASHCOMP for global use, that is, the user explicitly needs to set this parameter before installing the first product.
To allow installations of products containing previous Installer versions, following additional files or links are necessary on the system:
(Script) Anchor to the command line interface (lsm), used by previous installations
(Link) Redirects previous installations to the new installer home directory
If a previous Installer version is being upgraded, the existing Installer home directory is used. There is no migration to new folders.
