Issue/Introduction

We are installing Autosys on same AIX sever where we already have Harvest CMD installed. How can we verify CASHCOMP os Harvest installation? It is not in my .profile.

Environment

Release : 13.0

Component : CA Harvest Software Change Manager

Resolution

I think the quickest way to find out what CASHCOMP is set to for Harvest is to

1. Login to the broker box as the user id that owns the Harvest software

2. cd $CA_SCM_HOME/bin

3. cp hserver test

4. vi test

5. Scroll to the bottom of the file named “Test”, comment out the last line that actually executes the hserver, and add a new last line that executes:

env | grep CASHCOMP

6. Save and close the file, then execute “test”

Here’s what it looks like on my test box:

*** Switch to the userid that owns the SCM Software

[[email protected] ~]# su - cascm

Last login: Mon Jun 24 13:21:19 EDT 2019 on pts/0

*** cd to the $CA_SCM_HOME/bin

[[email protected] ~]$ cd $CA_SCM_HOME/bin

*** make a copy of the “hserver” script (or any script in the bin folder would be ok)

[[email protected] bin]$ cp hserver test

*** edit the “test” script, comment out the last line, and create a new last line that contains “env | grep CASHCOMP”

[[email protected] bin]$ vi test

*** (the “tail” command shows the last few lines of the script so that we can verify the change)

[[email protected] bin]$ tail -n 5 test

# exec "${CA_SCM_DIR}"/lib/hserver "[email protected]"

env | grep CASHCOMP

*** execute the “test” script

[[email protected] bin]$ ./test

CASHCOMP=/opt/CA/SharedComponents

This should show you what value is set for CASHCOMP when Harvest is running.
