https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/solutiondetails?aparNo=99111823&os=WINDOWS-ALL

 

2- On DOMAIN Manager create a temp directory (ex : c:\temp\CU6) and put the files 9911823.caz and cazipxp.exe inside.

Remark : cazipxp.exe could be downloaded from here :

https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/release-announcements/CAZIPXP/7843

 

3- Open a cmd and execute these commands :

cd /D c:\temp\CU6

cazipxp -u 9911823.caz

Patch in uncompressed in the directory

 

4- Uncompress the file ManagerPatch_Updated.zip and copy the 3 files 99111823.jcl, PostInstallScript.bat and webappsPreInstaller.bat under c:\temp\CU6

 

5- Copy the files applyptf.exe and applyptf.ini under c:\temp\CU6

6- Stop all ITCM services :

cfsystray stop

Caf stop

caf kill all

hmagent stop

 

 7- Make sure there is no running ITCM process (command line under DSM\bin) and kill it if it is still present

 

If there are still running process java.exe or javaw.exe for CIC (with command line under CA\SC\CIC\jre\bin) kill the process :

 

8- Stop cam

camclose

 

9- Execute this command line :

START /WAIT APPLYPTF.exe /NODE=%COMPUTERNAME% /PTF=99111823.jcl /INSTALLNEW /SILENT /OUTPUTFILE=applyptf_99111823.txt

This command could take several minutes (20 - 30 minutes)

 

It generates the following logs :

 

C:\temp\cu6\applyptf_99111823.txt

C:\temp\cu6\preinstall.log

C:\temp\cu6\postInstall.log

C:\Windows\Temp\pyFileOps*.log

 

Remark :

If installation is taking very long time, check the log postInstall.log and C:\Windows\Temp\pyFileOps.log

Sometimes CIC is again running and blocks the CU6 installation. In this situation the solution is to kill the process java.exe ou javaw.exe corresponding to CIC execution

 

 

When installation is finished, we should see following lines at the end of file postinstall.log :

The operation completed successfully.

"Post installation steps completed."

 

And dsmver command should diaplys a line for CU6 patch :

 

 

10- If it is the first CU patch installed then script sqlscript_exec_cu6.bat should be executed

 

 Edit file DSM\bin\sqlscript_exec_cu6.bat with notepad and update the line with SQL Server Name and Instance and password for ca_itrm user :

 sqlcmd -S Servername\instancename -U ca_itrm -P password -i Patch_sqlscripts.sql

 

 Example :

sqlcmd -S DOMAINNAME\INST1 -U ca_itrm -P cai_itrm_password -i Patch_sqlscripts.sql

 

 

Open a cmd and execute :

cd /D "%SDROOT%\..\bin"

sqlscript_exec_cu6.bat

 

 

 

 

 

Agents, Server and Explorer

1- Download the patch CU6 (Agent/Server/Explorer) 9911824.zip and the file AgentPatch_Updated.zip from this link :

https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/solutiondetails?aparNo=99111824&os=WINDOWS-ALL

 

2- On DOMAIN Manager create a temp directory (ex : c:\temp\CU6_AGT) and uncompress the files 9911824.zip inside.

 

3- Uncompress also the files in AgentPatch_Updated.zip into the directory c:\temp\CU6_AGT

This zip overwrites the files 99111824.jcl, postInstall_enc.bat and preInstall_enc.bat 

 

4- Then copy/paste this directory (or import it) in DSM Explorer under Software Package Library to get the SD Package "CA DSM Agent + Explorer +  Scalability Server 14.5 CU6 (Win32 only) - 14.5.0.600"

 

 

 

5- Then you could deploy this package onto Agents, Servers and Explorers in version 14.5 to apply CU6 patch.
