How to Configure for Existing Clients

After the product files are deployed, the following tasks are required if you have an existing installation of CA Endevor SCM.

1. Configure the deployed files. The configuration tasks prepare the new release of CA Endevor SCM to be started and customized. For more information, see How to Complete Configuration Without CA CSM and How to Configure the Deployed Product Data Sets.
2. Verify the installation environment. Verify that your installation environment is appropriately configured. Some or all of these tasks may have been completed when an earlier release of CA Endevor SCM was installed. For more information, see How to Complete Configuration Without CA CSM and How to Configure the Installation Environment.
3. Test the new release of CA Endevor SCM. If you are an existing client and CA Endevor SCM is already installed and configured at your site, you can use the Sample Application. Alternatively, you can use your existing data to test your installation of the new release of CA Endevor SCM. For more information, see the chapter "Implementing the Sample Application" or the chapter "Testing New Releases with Your Data."

Note: The Software Configuration Component (SCS) of CA CSM is not recommended for use by existing clients, even if you installed using CA CSM. Therefore, configuring the installed files and verifying the installation environment (steps 1 and 2 in this topic) are described in How to Complete Configuration Without CA CSM.
