Legacy Support of the $CASYSEDGE Variable

The installation program on Linux/UNIX does not modify the system environment settings in /etc/profile. As a result the $CASYSEDGE variable is no longer available.

If you have to support $CASYSEDGE in your environment, do one of the following options:

Create $CASYSEDGE in a shell.
Run the following command in a sh, ksh, or bash shell:
```
./etc/profile.CA
```
If you use csh, run the following command:
```
source /etc/csh_login.CA
```
Force the installation program to modify /etc/profile and create $CASYSEDGE.
Open a shell and enter the following commands:
```
Update_Profile=1;export Update_Profile
sh ca-setup.sh
```
If you use csh, run the following commands:
```
setenv Update_Profile 1
sh ca-setup.sh
```
The installation program installs SystemEDGE and creates $CASYSEDGE in the environment.

During an upgrade to Release 5.7.1, the SystemEDGE installation program does not change the existing environment. The previously created $CASYSEDGE variable remains in the environment.
