CCS Considerations

There are two variants of CA Common Services (CCS) installed with CA Client Automation: a pared-down version, known as Micro-CCS (English-only), and the original full version. Micro-CCS (English-only) supports Event Management and Calendars, but does not support WorldView (used for DTS network configuration) or discovery (including continuous discovery). The full version of CCS r11.2 (English-only) is for use only with a Microsoft SQL Server MDB.

The Installer automatically chooses the appropriate variant during installation. Note that the variants cannot coexist on a single host, although they can coexist on different hosts within a network. Also note that Micro-CCS cannot be upgraded to full CCS.

The following tables summarize which variant of CCS is installed with the various operating environments and MDBs:

Linux:

Installed Component

CCS Variant

Agent

None

Scalability server without calendars

None

Scalability server with calendars

Micro-CCS; event agent only

Note: CA Client Automation never uses full CCS on Linux.

Windows:

Installed Component

CCS Variant

Agent

None

Scalability server without calendars

None

Scalability server with calendars

Micro-CCS; event agent only

*Manager with local SQL Server MDB

Full CCS

*Manager with remote SQL Server MDB

Full CCS; must be installed on MDB host, should also be installed on Client Automation host

Manager with remote Oracle MDB

Micro-CCS on Client Automation host only; event agent plus event manager

* Makes no difference whether clustering is used or not.

UNIX:

No variant of CCS is installed.

Note: When installing a Domain Manager with CCS, using a SQL Server named instance causes the CCS installation to fail. For CCS to install successfully using a named SQL instance, the SQL Server Browser service must be running. You can start the SQL Server Browser service from the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
