How to Maintain Existing Products

You can migrate existing SMP/E environments into CA CSM to maintain all your installed products in a unified way from a single web-based interface.

You perform the following high-level tasks to maintain a product using CA CSM:

1. Migrate the SMP/E environment to CA CSM to maintain an existing SMP/E environment in CA CSM.

   During the migration, CA CSM stores information about the SMP/E environment in the database.

2. Download the latest maintenance for the installed product releases from the Products tab.

   If you cannot find the required release, you can perform the following steps to download the maintenance:

   1. Add the release to the catalog manually.
   2. Update the added release.
3. Apply the maintenance.

After the maintenance process completes, the product is ready for you to deploy.

Note: Sometimes, there are other product-specific steps to perform manually outside of CA CSM. For more information, review the Installation Guide for your product.
