Products

• Autosys Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

This article provides instructions on how to verify the integrity of downloaded product ISO images for AutoSys Workload Automation to ensure they are not corrupted or tampered with.

Symptoms

• The checksum file is missing from the bulk GA download location in the ISO zip.
• Users are unable to find the AutoSys AE Checksums document on the Support Portal.
• Installation fails due to potential corruption of the downloaded ISO file.

 

Environment

• AutoSys Workload Automation AE 12.x
• AutoSys Workload Automation AE 24.x
• Operating Systems: Windows, Linux

Resolution

Starting with recent releases, checksums for individual ISO images are provided on the Solution Details page for each specific release rather than being bundled in the bulk GA download location.

Accessing the Checksum

1. Log in to the  Broadcom Support Portal.
2. Navigate to the Product Downloads section for AutoSys Workload Automation.
   
   
3. Go to the Solution Tab
   
   
4. Locate the specific solution or patch (e.g., 24.2.0) and click on the Solution Details link.
5. The MD5/SHA checksum will be displayed on the solution details page.

Verifying the ISO Integrity

After downloading the ISO file and obtaining the official checksum, use the following steps to validate the file on your server:

On Windows

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Run the following command (replace ####.iso with your filename):
   shell

   certutil -hashfile ####.iso MD5

3. Compare the output hash with the one provided on the Support Portal.

On Linux

1. Log in to the server where the ISO is located.
2. Run the following command:
   bash

   md5sum ####.iso

3. Verify that the generated string matches the published checksum.

Note: If the strings do not match, the file is corrupted. Delete the file and download it again using a download manager to reduce the risk of corruption.
