Note

The installation files for BMC Atrium Single Sign-On versions 8.1.00.02 have been replaced with the installation files for version 8.1.00.03, and can no longer be downloaded from the EPD site. Patch 3 for BMC Atrium Single Sign-On 8.1.00 (8.1.00.03) is a full installation and includes the fixes that were available in Patch 1 and Patch 2 (8.1.00.01 and 8.1.00.02). You can download the Patch 3 installation files from the BMC EPD site and perform your normal installation.

To download the files

The product files that you download from the EPD website might contain some or all of the patches listed on a product's Customer Support web page. If the EPD page shows that a patch is included in a file you downloaded, you do not need to obtain that patch separately.

  1. Create a directory in which to place the downloaded files.

    Note

    On Microsoft Windows computers, ensure that the directory is only one level into the directory structure. The EPD package creates a directory in the temporary directory when you extract the files, and the directory that contains the installation image should not be in a directory deeper than two levels into the directory structure.

  2. Go to http://www.bmc.com/available/epd.html.
  3. At the logon prompt, enter your user ID and password, and click Submit.
  4. On the Export Compliance and Access Terms page, provide the required information, agree to the terms of the agreements, and click Continue.
  5. If you are accessing this site for the first time, create an EPD profile to specify the languages and platforms that you want to see, per the EPD site help; otherwise, skip to step 6.
  6. (Optional) Verify that the correct profile is displayed for your download purpose, and select the Licensed Products tab.

    Note

    This step is used only for verifying that BMC Atrium Single Sign-On 8.1.00 Patch 3 (8.1.00.03) installation files are available on the Licensed Products tab. For downloading and installing BMC Atrium Single Sign-On, you must use the ESM solution suite mentioned in the following step.

  7. Locate the solution for which you are using BMC Atrium Single Sign-On, such as BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite, and expand its entries.

    Note

    As BMC Atrium Single Sign-On is a part of ESM solution suite, you must visit the download sections for BMC Remedy IT Service Management, BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management, BMC BladeLogic Automation, or BMC Application Management suites to obtain the the latest version of BMC Atrium Single Sign-On. For the steps in this process, BMC Remedy IT Service Management is used.

    1. Products — Displays the product files and BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite 8.1.00  and BMC Atrium Single Sign-On related files available for download. Use the appropriate platform and language.

  9. Select the check boxes next to the files and documents that you want to download.
  10. Click Download (FTP) or Download Manager:
    • Download (FTP) places the selected items in an FTP directory, and the credentials and FTP instructions are sent to you in an email message.
    • Download Manager enables you to download multiple files consecutively and to resume an interrupted download if the connection drops.
      This method requires a one-time installation of the Akamai NetSession client program on the target computer and is usually the faster and more reliable way to transfer files. A checksum operation is used to verify file integrity automatically.
