Load CAICCI on the Client Platform

If you installed CAICCI and you plan to use mainframe to PC communication with client-server products such as CA Datacom Server and CA IDMS Server, install CAICCI/PC by downloading CAW0OPTN member CCIPCS32 or CCIPCS64.

CAICCI/PC is distributed on the CA Common Services for z/OS installation media. It supports SSL and the TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 protocols.

CAICCI/PC can be installed from the mainframe using either TCPIP (FTP) or LU2 if the PC is connected to the mainframe with a 3270 emulator that supports the IND$FILE file transfer protocol. No other software is required. Other file transfer applications, such as CA XCOM or CA Software Delivery, can also be used to perform mass distributions of the required CAICCI/PC files. For specific instructions, see the documentation for that product.

Note: CAICCI/PC cannot be installed on a LAN server and is not shared by multiple users. A copy of CAICCI/PC must be installed on each PC.

To install CAICCI/PC to your PC

Remove any versions of CAICCI-PC earlier to Version 14.0 by using the CAINDREG program that is located in the C:\CA_APPSW directory. Versions 14.0 and later can be uninstalled using the Add or Remove Programs tool from the Control Panel.

1. Download CAW0OPTN member CCIPCS32 or CCIPCS64 to your PC using TCP/IP (FTP) or LU2.

   If you have a 32-bit PC, only download the 32-bit version CCIPCS32. If you have a 64-bit PC, or you can need both versions depending on the applications that are used. The client-server product that runs on the PC determines the choice of which package to use . You can install both packages on a 64-bit PC if you have a mix of client-server products that require both.

   To Download with TCP/IP (FTP)

   Your PC must be connected through TCP/IP to use FTP to download the CAICCI/PC files from a z/OS host.

   From your PC Command Prompt:

   • Change the directory to the directory that receives the transferred file.
   • Enter the ftp command with the IP address or name of the remote host.
   • Logon to the remote host by entering your userid and password when prompted.
   • Specify binary transfer.
   • Enter the change directory command with the YourdeployHLQ.CAW0OPTN data set in quotation marks as the remote directory location. YourdeployHLQ is the HLQ you used to install CA Common Services.
   • Enter the get command with the name of the member (either CCIPCS32 or CCIPCS64) to be transferred from the remote directory to the current local directory as either CCIPCS32.EXE or CCIPCS64.EXE. If you are downloading both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version, use individual get commands as illustrated in the following example:

Example: a sample FTP session:

C:>ftp myIPname
User:
Password:
. . .
binary
. . .
cd 'YourdeployHLQ.CAW0OPTN'
get ccipcs32 ccipcs32.exe
get ccipcs64 ccipcs64.exe

quit

To download using LU 2

Note: The steps are for CCIPCS32 (32-bit version). If you need CCIPCS64 (64-bit version), use the same method, substituting the name CCIPCS64 wherever CCIPCS32 appears.

• Create a directory on the PC.
• Click the button that invokes your terminal emulator file transfer facility.
• Select Receive from Host.
• For the Host file name, enter:
  'YourdeployHLQ.CAW0OPTN(CCIPCS32)' or ‘CAI.CAIOPTN(CCIPCS64)’, for the Host Type, enter TSO.
• For the PC file name, enter the PC drive and newly created directory followed by CCIPCS32.exe or CCIPCS64.exe, such as:

  c:\ccinst\CCIPCS32.exe
  

  or

  c:\ccinst\CCIPCS64.exe
  

• Ensure that the transfer type is BINARY.
• Start the transfer.

1. When the file download is complete, go into the new directory you created and double-click the CCIPCS32.exe icon or the CCIPCS64.exe icon to begin the self-extraction process.

   CAICCI/PC installation begins.

2. When the installation completes, review the readme file that is created during this process for a description of the new certificate files, installation notes, and a copy of the OpenSSL/SSLeay licenses.
