Unicenter Software Delivery

CA Gen Release 8.5 uses the Unicenter®utility named Unicenter Software Delivery (USD) to install and uninstall the CSE and the IT. Similar to Microsoft's MSI on Windows, USD installs software on UNIX and Linux systems.

CA Gen Release 8.5 includes the USD Installer utility. The setup program installs the installer utility on your system. Setup uses the installer to install the IT and the CSE. You can install the IT and the CSE simultaneously or at different times using the setup program.

The installer utility that performs the installation is named lsm. After completing an installation, you can use lsm to view information about the installed product including name, version, parameters, and file lists. You can also use lsm to delete an entire product or run lsm without parameters to view the usage message.

Note: If your site has the full Unicenter Software Delivery product, available under a separate license for managing the remote distribution of applications in an enterprise, you can register CA Gen Release 8.5 for remote distribution. CA Gen Release 8.5 is in the CA Gen download folder in the required PIF format for supported UNIX and Linux platforms. For the details on how to register and distribute PIF formatted products, see your USD documentation.
