Environment

Identity Governance
v14.5 SP1 CHF1

Resolution

Please be advised that the IdentityGovernance Client Tools in v14.5.0, provided as a part of defects, and those in v14.5.1 CHF1 are distinct components. The versioning scheme does not follow a consistent incremental pattern with each release. 

Specifically, CA-RCM-DM-14.5.0.exe.3168 differs from CA-RCM-DM-14.5.1.exe.3168 and from CA-RCM-DM-14.5.0.exe.3192 (included in the defects)

Although the build numbers are not in incremental order, they represent two distinct versions since they come with two separate releases.

When v14.5.0 is deployed in the environment, ensure that you use the tools provided with this version, unless otherwise directed by Broadcom. Similarly, for v14.5.1, the tools intended for that version should be used.
