Configure CAICCI on Windows Running CA Products

Full CAICCI functionality is available on a Windows system running CA to support a peer-to-peer configuration.

To configure CAICCI on a Windows system running CA products

1. Ensure that you can ping the mainframe system to which you want to connect.

   If you cannot ping the mainframe system, review the TCP/IP setup on the Windows PC and the mainframe. You may need to add an entry for the z/OS host name in DNS or the \system32\drivers\etc\hosts file on the PC.

2. Define a connection between the Windows PC and the mainframe system using LOCAL and REMOTE statements in the install_path\CAIUSER\ccirmtd.rc CAICCI configuration file.
3. Issue the following command to determine whether the CAICCI Remote Server is installed:

   ccicntrl
   

   A series of messages appears including the following if the Remote Server is installed and running:

   Service "CA‑Unicenter (Remote)", STATUS is "Running"
   

4. If the Remote Server is running and you updated the CAICCI configuration file in Step 2, issue the following commands:

   ccicntrl stop rmt
   ccicntrl start rmt
   

   The Remote Server stops and then restarts. You have finished configuring CAICCI on the Windows system.

5. If the Remote Server is not installed, issue the following command:

   ccicntrl install rmt install_path\bin
   

   The Remote Server is installed.

6. If the Remote Server is not running, issue the following command:

   ccicntrl start rmt
   

   The Remote Server starts. You have finished configuring CAICCI on the Windows system.
