How to Install the Prerequisites Manually on Windows

To support you with the installation of the prerequisites for installation packages, some command examples and proceedings are provided here.

• Installing CA Asset Maintenance Sytem (AMS):

  WindowsProductFiles_x86\AMS\setupwin32console.exe -P installLocation="c:\Program Files\CA\DSM\Web Console\webapps\AMS" -V SERVERNAME="manager_system_name" -V WEBPORT="Tomcat_startup_port" -V DASSERVERNAME="mdb_servername" -V INGRESLISTENER="db_instance_name" -silent
  

• Installing MSAARDK:

  WindowsProductFiles_x86\MSAARDK\MSAARDK.exe /R:N
  

If anything is required to be installed from the command line or a batch procedure, we suggest the following approach. The best way to figure out what needs to be installed and what command lines are to be executed, a template install for the particular combination of manager functionality should be done. The Installer creates several log files under the %temp% directory. The command can be found by opening the DSMSetup.log and searching for 'Launch ciCCSSetup'. This leads to the section of commands executed to install the different components.

Further searches for 'Launch' can be done, which will show you the sequence of msiexec commands to install the following:

• AMS
• Agents
• Scalability server
• DSM Explorer
• Manager
• and so on

Each command line shows the properties to be used when calling the command and may be copied into the automation script. All relevant parameters are explained in the Installation Tool msiexec section.

In the case of a manager installation, the MDB needs to be installed and configured as the first package before installing anything else.
