Updates

BMC Release Process Management

You can now use advanced include_except filter to exclude unnecessary data and avoid the REST call timeout when using the REST API for the plans and plans stage instances (DRZXB-15792). For more information, see individual API pages under REST-API-version-1.

BMC Release Package and Deployment

While deploying an instance, if the host engine system is 100 percent occupied, then the deployment fails and the error messages do not provide clarity about what causes the failure. Enhanced logging is now provided while creating and deploying an instance that specifies the exact causes for deployment failures (DRVDA-7350).

For information about issues corrected in this patch, see Known and corrected issues. To find the fixed issues for the 5.0.01.01 version, you can sort the issues in the table by the Corrected in column or filter them using the Corrected in list.

Downloading the patch

Perform the following steps to download the patch: 

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

   Warning

   Note

   On 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 login prompt, enter your user ID and password, and then 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 you want to see, per EPD site help; otherwise, skip to step 6.
6. Verify that the correct profile is displayed for your download purpose, click the Licensed Products tab.
7. In the Filter Products search box, enter BMC Release Lifecycle Management, and then click Go.
8. On the right pane, click the BMC Release Lifecycle Management link, and then click the Patches tab.
9. In the Version list, ensure that the 5.0.00 version is selected.
10. Next to the BMC Release Lifecycle Management 5.0.00 Patch # link, select the check box, and then click one of the following:
    • 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 downloads multiple files consecutively and resumes an interrupted download if the connection drops. 
      This method requires a one-time installation of the Akami Net Session client program on the target computer and is usually faster and more reliable way to transfer files. A checksum operation is used to verify file integrity automatically.
11. Extract the contents of the ZIP files that you downloaded and store them in a temporary directory.
