Upgrade the CA ControlMinder .deb Package

To upgrade the CA ControlMinder .deb package on the Linux platform, you use the dpkg -i command. The package file name contains the version number and has a .deb suffix. For example the "caeac_128sp0123_amd64.deb" file installs the 64 bit version of CA ControlMinder 12.8, SP0, build 123.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on as the root user.
2. Install the CA ControlMinder package:

   dpkg -i caeac-xxxspx-xxx_amd64.deb
   

   The package is installed into the /opt/CA/ directory by default.

3. Verify that the package status is "OK installed".

   dpkg -s caeac-xxxspx-xxx
   

4. Verify that the two versions exist in parallel.

   > ls -l /opt/CA/
   /opt/CA/AccessControl/ -> /opt/CA/AccessControl_128SP0_000
   /opt/CA/AccessControl.old/
   /opt/CA/AccessControl_128SP0_000/
   

5. Verify that the /etc/seos.ini link is up-to-date and points to the seos.ini file of the new version.

   > ls -l /etc/seos.ini
   /etc/seos.ini -> /opt/CA/AccessControl_128P0_000/seos.ini
   

6. Start CA ControlMinder.

   > /opt/CA/AccessControl/bin/seload
