Configuring Software With DSM/SCM

This subsection summarizes the general procedure for configuring new software on a

target. For more information on this process, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.

1. Receive New Software Into Archive

When you receive a SUT or SPR, you use DSM/SCM to receive its product files.

Products received into DSM/SCM are stored as software inputs in the DSM/SCM

archive, from which you can later use them to update the software configuration of your

system.

2. Create Software Revision

A software revision is a list of products in the DSM/SCM archive that are used together

to update the software configuration of a system. After you have received the products

you need into the DSM/SCM archive, use DSM/SCM to create a software revision:

1. Review the softdocs and RVU documents for the products to determine if any

conflicts might arise. These documents describe new features, corrected problems,

remaining known problems, and other product information.

2. Create a new software revision by designating the specific products in the

DSM/SCM archive that will be installed on the target system.

To create a new revision:

a. Open the current revision of the software.

b. Modify the current revision by copying new product versions or SPRs from

various software inputs in the DSM/SCM archive.
