Command-line Interface Installation

CA Configuration Automation provides a command-line interface (CLI) that lets you incorporate server- and service-related Refresh, Snapshot, Change Detection, and Rule Compliance operations into scripts and other administrative processes within your infrastructure. In addition, reporting, importing, and some other administrative operations are available using the CLI.

The main CLI executable, ccautil, is installed automatically in the top-level installation directory when you install CA Configuration Automation Agent, but you can also copy the ccautil executable to any server for integration into existing scripts and processes.

An additional executable, ccafutil, captures the impact of a newly installed application on a server for use in creating a Component Blueprint for the application. Documentation is provided for both executables in the Product Guide (CCA_ProdGuide_ENU.pdf).

The CLI runs on all CA Configuration Automation Agent-supported platforms. See the Release Notes for platform and version support details.

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