Command-line Interface Installation

CA Configuration Automation provides a command-line interface (CLI) that enables you to perform certain server- and service-related operations from a command-line prompt.

The command-line utility is called ccautil (ccautil.bat on Windows and ccautil.sh on Linux and UNIX). It is installed automatically in the bin directory when you install the CA Configuration Automation Server. If you accept the default CA Configuration Automation Server installation directory, ccautil is located in one of the following directories:

• C:\Program Files\CA\CCA Server\bin
• /opt/CA/CCAServer/bin

You can run ccautil from this location (as described in the Command-line Interface appendix in the Product Guide) or copy the utility to a remote computer running any supported CA Configuration Automation Server platform. See the Release Notes for information about platform and version support.

To install ccautil on a remote computer

1. Copy the ccautil.bat or ccautil.sh file from the bin directory on the CA Configuration Automation Server host to the remote computer.
2. Copy the sdk directory and its contents from the CA Configuration Automation Server host to the remote computer.

   Note: The caacm-api.jar and all other required open-source utility .jar files must remain in the <install_directory>\sdk\lib directory.

3. Change the value of the CCA_UTIL_HOME variable in the ccautil.bat or ccautil.sh file to point to the directory where the sdk directory is located on the remote computer.
4. Change the value of the TEMP_JAVA_HOME variable value in ccautil.bat or ccautil.sh file to point to your Java or JRE home on the remote computer.

   The ccautil command-line utility is installed and configured on the remote computer.

   Note: Before using the CLI, you must successfully log in to the browser-based CA Configuration Automation user interface at least once to authenticate your user credentials.
