Deploying ServiceHost Hotfixes with DCAL

Deploying ServiceHost hotfixes through DCAL could result in the hotfix being deployed before the full ServiceHost package. Hotfixes are cumulative CAL packages, and need to be deployed after ServiceHost has been successfully installed on the workstation.

Recommended Workaround:

  1. Run the hotfix installer on the application server.
  2. Add the ServiceHost hotfix and the parent ServiceHost version to the DCAL Download Schedule.
  3. Verify the deployment order of the hotfix. CAL Deployment Order contains more information.
  4. Verify that both packages have been downloaded to the DCAL workstation in the EMC DCAL Install Status tab (introduced with Simphony release 18.2).
  5. Add the hotfix package to the Deployment Schedule.
