Copying Control-M/Agent installation packages

This procedure describes how to copy Control-M/Agent installation packages for each platform and place them in the Control-M/EM repository. This enables you to upgrade multiple Control-M/Agents from different platforms and versions to the latest version and fix pack.

To copy Control-M/Agent installation packages:

1. Download the Control-M/Agent installation packages via EPD at https://www.bmc.com/available/epd.html.

   You need to download the required package for each platform that you want to upgrade. Do not rename the installation package.

2. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to save the installation packages to the Control-M/EM computer, copy the installation package to the $EM_HOME/AUTO_DEPLOY directory on the computer where the CMS is installed.

   EXAMPLE: /home/one900a/ctm_em/AUTO_DEPLOY

   • If you want to save the installation packages to a specific network location, define the CentralDeployLocation system parameter, as described in Defining Control-M/EM system parameters.

   NOTE: Verify that the Control-M/EM user that is defined in the Control-M/EM Configuration Agent Windows service is set to This account and has access to the relevant network location.

3. Restart the New Activity Upgrade wizard.
