Installation Methods

Before you begin an installation, review each method. Identify the method that applies to your site and then continue to the next topic for an installation overview.

Important! You must use CA Chorus Software Manager to install CA Chorus and its disciplines.

Important! The CA Chorus platform and each discipline must share the same CSI.

CA Chorus Platform + Discipline Installation

You are installing a new instance of CA Chorus, and you want to install at least one discipline at the same time. Follow the installation instructions and ensure that you install all components into the same CSI name.

New Discipline Installation

You have previously installed the CA Chorus platform, and possibly one or more disciplines, and you now want to install another discipline.

Note the following rules:

• You must use the same CSI as the existing CA Chorus platform (and disciplines, if any). You must redeploy and reconfigure this one CSI as one segment.
  • If you use CA CSM to deploy and configure the discipline using CA CSM SCS, redeploy and reconfigure the platform at the same time using the same CSI.
  • If you use the automatic configuration method, you need only install, deploy, and configure the new discipline.
• After all discipline configuration steps are completed, run ETJI0150 to enable the new discipline, and restart JBoss.

Applying Maintenance to existing CA Chorus Platform and Discipline(s)

You have previously installed the CA Chorus platform, and possibly one or more disciplines, and you now want to apply maintenance to both.

The rules noted in New Discipline Installation apply.

Upgrade CA Chorus with or without a Discipline

The Upgrade Guide explains the steps for both scenarios. For the upgrade, you must install a new environment, which means you complete the steps in the Site Preparation Guides (platform and discipline) and the Installation Guide. You then finalize the configuration and migrate the data based on the steps in the Upgrade Guide.
