Environment

Component : CA Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)
Cause
Installation and/or upgrade process makes usage of rpm command.
When installing the product in another location than the default option (= /opt/CA) then it will add --prefix with the new location you gave during installation time on the rpm commands that are being executed.
The process adds --prefix and --percent at the end of the rpm command. Rpm command fails recognizing these parameters. When these parameters are defined before the package name, then rpm recognizes the parameters and rpm installation will succeed.
The root cause is related to following environmental variable POSIXLY_CORRECT being set to 1.
When this is the case, this variable forces to respect the POSIX formats which is more stricted than the GNU format allowing to put the options in any order.
This environmental variable is set in $CASHCOMP/CADirectory/.dxprofile.
