Issue/Introduction
During deployment wizard dmprimer is installed under directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\DSM\DMPrimer
Then during deployment process the creation of empty file C:\Program Files (x86)\TestFile.txt is done.
But in some environment creation of file directly to C:\Program Files (x86) is not permitted and installation could not be done.
Example in c:\windows\temp\dmprimer.log :
02/06/24 13:52:05 | 3032 | 9564 | createdir.h | 133 | Attempting to create temp file: C:\Program Files (x86)\TestFile.txt
02/06/24 13:52:05 | 3032 | 9564 | createdir.h | 165 | Failed to create temp file for writing: C:\Program Files (x86)\TestFile.txt
A solution if to install dmprimer to another directory. But how to change the default installation path for dmprimer ?
Environment
Client Automation - All versions
Resolution
- In deployment wizard in step 7, click on "Show Advanced Options" and enter DMPRIMER=<path_for_dmprimer>
Example :
DMPRIMER=C:\DMPRIMER
- On target machine dmprimer will be installed under c:\dmprimer :
Other components (ITCM Agent, CAM etc...) are installed under default directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CA :
And in c:\windows\temp\dmprimer.log we could see that testfile.txt is created under c:\dmprimer :
02/21/24 15:46:18 | 11220 | 8056 | createdir.h | 57 | Reformatted dir to create: C:\DMPRIMER\
02/21/24 15:46:18 | 11220 | 8056 | createdir.h | 81 | Attempting to create folder: C:\DMPRIMER
02/21/24 15:46:18 | 11220 | 8056 | createdir.h | 125 | Folder exists: C:\DMPRIMER
02/21/24 15:46:18 | 11220 | 8056 | createdir.h | 133 | Attempting to create temp file: C:\DMPRIMER\TestFile.txt
