Upgrade the Agent to r11.3 SP3 on Windows

If you are using CA WA Agent for Windows r11.3 or higher, you can upgrade to r11.3 SP3 using a patch.

Follow these steps:

  1. Stop the agent:
    agent_install_path\cybAgent -s
    
    agent_install_path

    Specifies the agent installation directory.

  2. Download and unpack the supplied .caz file into a temporary location, such as C:\temp\patch:
    CAZIPXP -u patch.caz
    
    patch

    Specifies the name of the patch file.

    Note: The CAZIPXP utility must reside in the same directory as the .caz file. You can download the CAZIPXP utility from CA Support Online at https://support.ca.com/irj/portal/phpsupcontent?contentID=cb74d332-823b-427e-a6de-811dc2183fb1&fromKBResultsScreen=T.

    The temporary folder contains the necessary files for installing the patch.

  3. Apply the patch using the following command:
    installPatch.bat [-licenseAccepted] agent_install_path patch_file patch_id
    
    -licenseAccepted

    (Optional) Accepts the license agreement. The license agreement is not shown.

    Note: Before applying the patch with the -licenseAccepted option, review the license agreement (license.txt) included with the patch files.

    patch_file

    Specifies the archive file that contains the patching files. The file has a ZIP extension on Windows.

    patch_id

    Specifies the ID of the patch that is being applied. The ID is usually the name of the file that is downloaded from CA Support Online.

    Example: installPatch.bat "C:\Program Files\CA\CAWA Agent" patch_windows64.zip RO55422

  4. Start the agent:
    agent_install_path\cybAgent -a
