CAL Directory and Package Contents
The CAL Package files and folders are located on the Simphony application server in the EGatewayService directory. This is the most important directory. Handlers in this directory process messages that are sent to the Simphony application server. The EGatewayService directory includes the encrypted database information, as well as the web.config file that includes important Simphony settings. The following table lists the subdirectories that reside in the EGatewayService\CAL folder and the CAL package contents for various types of client devices.

Installation and Upgrade
Name: Identifies the CAL Package
Version: Identifies the release version number using a four-number dotted notation format (for example, 2.800.4.25)
Commands: Indicates what, how, and where files are placed
The Simphony installer derives an internal name and version for Simphony packages from the Setup.dat file. The internal name and version typically differs from the package name and version. For example, ServiceHost 2.7 and ServiceHost 2.8 are two separate packages, but they share the same internal name, ServiceHost. The installer identifies the matching internal names and prevents installing and running two versions of ServiceHost.exe on the same client.
The CAL client uses the internal name and version from the Setup.dat file to determine whether to download the CAL package. EMC does not allow you to configure duplicate schedules for packages with the same internal name. For example, if you have a deployment schedule for ServiceHost.2.8 to deploy to the Enterprise, adding an Enterprise deployment for ServiceHost.2.8 and ServiceHost.2.7 results in the following error message: Cannot save duplicate deployments.
When you upgrade Simphony to a new version, the installer does not add new deployments (with one exception) and does not change existing packages or schedules. As a result, you do not need to change deployment schedules from Install to Skip. The installer preserves CAL packages and adds new versions.
