Create the Touchpoint

After you install the agent, configure the touchpoint for the agent in CA Process Automation. Touchpoints are used to identify the orchestrator or agent within an environment. A touchpoint is the host on which you install the agent. The agent is used to execute the powershell in a host. You can add touchpoints one at a time or you can add them in bulk. Use the following procedure to add a touchpoint to a selected environment and select the agent to associate it with. This identifies the location of the CA Process Automation agent to the orchestrator.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Configuration, expand the Domain folder.

   All the configured environments are enlisted.

2. Right-click the Default environment, and click Lock.
3. Right-click Default Environment, and then click Add Touchpoint.

   A web form opens.

4. Type a name for the new touchpoint. For example, Test TP.
5. Select Agent, from the drop-down list.
6. Select the agent (computer name) that you want to associate with the touchpoint.

   Note: You select the agent that is installed on the VMware View server.

7. Click Add.

   A new touchpoint is added in All Touchpoints in the Default Environment.

8. Click Save in the menu bar.
9. Right-click the environment, and click Unlock.

   The touchpoint that you added appears in All Touchpoints in its environment.
