If the broker is on Linux there’s a “gotcha” with the odbc.ini file that gets delivered with the upgrade. If your broker is on Windows or other Unix platforms this does not apply. Here’s where you can read about how to get around it: https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleId=135810
There is also a KB article detailing the procedure to follow if you are wanting to set up a script to silently install SCM Client on Windows machines. Here is the article detailing that process: https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleId=194656
