Maintain the Installed Products

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

You can use CA MSM to maintain a CA Technologies product.

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

1. Verify that CA MSM recognizes the SMP/E environment where your product is installed. If not, migrate the SMP/E environment to CA MSM.

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

2. From the Product tab, download the latest maintenance for the installed product releases.

   If you cannot find the required release, 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.

   CA MSM applies the maintenance to your product.

After the maintenance process completes, the product is ready for you to deploy to systems that are defined in the system registry.
