5.3 How to Install Patch P001

The patch installation replaces existing CA CM Enterprise Workbench files with new delivered files.

The patch is preferably installed by running the installation script (install.bat) or manually by overwriting the current version of the files. Prior to the patch installation, validate and navigate to the installation directory, which is referenced by the EW_HOME system variable. The default installation directory is: C:\Program Files\CA\CA CM Enterprise Workbench\

To install the patch

  1. Unpack the content of the delivered efix zip file to the temporary location (C:\Temp).
  2. Copy the \Efix directory from the temporary location with all of its content to the CA CM Enterprise Workbench installation directory (determined by the system variable %EW_HOME%).
  3. Stop the web application server which is executing CA CM Enterprise Workbench.
  4. Open a DOS Window and navigate to the already copied directory under the CA CM Enterprise Workbench. installation path: %EW_HOME%\Efix\Efix100106\
  5. Execute the install.bat script. (For more information, see the section: The installation script "install.bat".)
  6. Validate the installation by reviewing the reports: %EW_HOME%\Efix\Efix100106\efix100106_install.log

    %EW_HOME%\Efix\efix_master.log

  7. Use the Define Data Source & Deployment tool that will start automatically at the end of script execution to deploy the application.

    1. If you are not ready to deploy you, can cancel (Close) the utility. You can access the utility at a later time through the Windows Start, Programs, CA menu.
    2. For WebSphere users only:

      Start the WebSphere web application server before deploying the application.

  8. Restart the applicable web application server associated with the CA CM Enterprise Workbench application.

    Note: This step is not necessary for WebSphere web application server users.

Note: In the case of a manual installation you are required to backup and overwrite the existing version of the files at your site with the versions delivered in this patch and redeploy the CA CM Enterprise Workbench to your web application server.
