How to confirm downloaded ISO images from Support portal are not corrupted?

Products

• CA Workload Automation AE

Issue/Introduction

Customers can download ISO files from our Support Portal using "Product Downloads". Checksum files can also be found so customers can validate the integrity of the downloaded file.

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : AUTOSYS WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

Resolution

After having copied the ISO file to your Linux or Windows server, you can run the md5sum (linux) or certutil (windows) command to confirm whether the checksum match to the one published.

For Linux environments:

example: md5sum DVDLIN0000000121.iso

 

For Windows environments:

example: certutil -hashfile DVDWIN0000000121 MD5

 

This will return the md5 checksum you can compare with the one published. If the string differs from the published one, then the downloaded file is corrupted and customer needs to download them again.

Additional Information

We recommend the use of the download manager to reduce the risks of corrupted downloaded files.
