Windows to Mainframe: Common Communications Interface › Install CAICCI-PC

Install CAICCI-PC

The PC-to-mainframe client-server configuration requires CAICCI-PC on the participating PCs. Support for both 32-bit and 64-bit client applications is provided.

To install CAICCI-PC on a PC

1. Remove any previous CAICCI-PC by using the CAINDREG program located in the C:\CA_APPSW directory.
2. Download the CCIPCS32 and/or CCIPCS64 file from the installation tape or the FTP site:

   Note: For information about downloading the installation files (CCIPCS32 and CCIPCS64), see the Installation Guide.

3. Run CCIPCS32.EXE or CCIPCS64.EXE.

   The InstallShield Wizard appears.

4. Click Next, and following the instructions.

   The wizard asks you to accept the CA License and the OpenSSL License and the Original SSLeay License. By default, the component is installed in the
   C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\CAICCI-PC directory where CA products expect to find it. You have the option to install into a different folder.

   Note: As the last step of the installation, the wizard asks if you want to configure CAICCI-PC. Check the box to do the configuration now. Otherwise you can cancel the CAICCI-PC configuration by clicking Finish. You can later set the communications information and other options by accessing the Configurator (CAICCI-PC Properties dialog) from the Start menu (Start>Programs>CA>CA CAICCI-PC>Launch CCIPC Configurator). However, if you were to cancel at this point, your CA products cannot communicate with a host and would ultimately fail. You should set the TCP/IP information and other options before running any CAICCI applications.
