How to Install a Product Using CA MSM

Use the following process to install a product using CA MSM. To use CA MSM to acquire or download a product, you must have a CA Support Online account. If you do not have an account, create one through the CA Support web site. In addition, contact your system administrator to obtain the CA MSM URL.

  1. Access CA MSM. Log in to CA MSM, and select the Software Catalog tab to display the products to which your organization is entitled. If you cannot find the product you want to acquire, update the catalog. CA MSM refreshes the catalog through CA Support Online using the site IDs associated with your CA Support Online credentials.
  2. Download the product installation packages. CA MSM downloads (acquires) the packages (including any maintenance packages) from the CA FTP site.
  3. Determine the applicable gen level. Identify the packages at the product gen level that you need.
  4. Install your product. A wizard guides you through the installation process. A CSI is created for the installed product as part of the installation process.

    After you complete the installation dialog, your product libraries are created, and you are ready for deployment and customization.

  5. Deploy and configure you product.
