Install Using the Console

You can use the console mode to install the CA Configuration Automation Server interactively from the command line.

Follow these steps:

Log in as a user authorized to install software with write permissions to the target installation directory on the target server.
Change to the directory that contains the installation program for the operating system:
Linux
```
$ cd /dvd1/CCA/Server/Linux
```
Solaris
```
$ cd /dvd1/CCA/Server/Solaris
```
Note: The examples and prompts in the rest of this section use a Solaris server. Server installation procedures and prompts are similar for Linux.
Enter the following command:
```
$ ./installserver.bin -i console
```
The installation program prepares for the installation process by unpacking and extracting the necessary files to a temporary work space. The preparation can take several minutes.

If adequate /tmp space is not available, the installation program tries to use available space in the home directory. For example, if you log in as root, the installation program checks for and uses / as the temporary work space. After the installation process finishes successfully, the application releases the temporary storage.

The installation program starts and provides basic installation navigation and cancellation instructions. Observe the following key points:
- Enter back to return to a previous step.
- Enter quit to cancel the installation.
  Note: If you cancel an installation, the program does not automatically remove installed files. To remove these files, use the provided uninstaller. The uninstaller is located in the target installation directory that you specify in Step 7.
Press Enter to continue the installation.
The License Agreement appears.
Read each page of the License Agreement (including the Third Party Software License Terms and Conditions), then press Enter.
At the end of the agreement, the following prompt appears:
```
DO YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT? (Y/N)
```

Enter Y to accept the license agreement and continue the installation process.

The following prompt appears:

Where would you like to install?
Default Install Folder: /opt/CA/CCAServer
ENTER AN ABSOLUTE PATH, OR PRESS <ENTER> TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT:

Press Enter to use the recommended default location, or enter the path to the directory in which to install the CA Configuration Automation Server.
The patch names can contain only alphanumeric, underscore ( _ ), and forward slash ( / ) characters. No embedded blanks or other special characters are allowed. If the directory you specify does not exist, the installation program creates it.

The installation program prompts you to specify the type of database to use to store CA Configuration Automation configuration information and data.
```
Database Server
1- SQL Server
2- Oracle
Database Type:
```
Enter the number that corresponds with your database and press Enter.
The installation program confirms your Database Type selection is confirmed, and prompts you to specify the database server name:
```
Database Type: 1
Server Name (DEFAULT: localhost):
```
Do one of the following actions:
- Enter the server name or IP address where the selected database is installed.
- Press Enter if the database is on the server where you are installing the CA Configuration Automation Server.
Note: The application supports maximal extended form and maximal abbreviated form for IPv6 addresses. The application does not support link local IPv6 addresses.

The installation program prompts you to define the database port number or instance name:
```
Port Number (DEFAULT: 1433):
```
Default:

SQL Server: 1433

Oracle: 1521
Do one of the following actions:
- Press Enter to accept the default port or the instance name
- Enter a different port number if you did not use the vendor-recommended default when you installed the database software.
If you are using an Oracle database, the installation program prompts you to specify the service name:
```
Service Name (DEFAULT: ORCL):
```
Do one of the following actions, depending on the database type:

SQL Server

Press Enter to accept the default instance name, or enter a different name and then press Enter.

Oracle

Press Enter to accept the default service name, or enter a different name and then press Enter.

The installation program prompts you to specify a database action.
```
Database Action
1- Create Database and User
2- Create Database
3- Use Existing Database
```
Note: If the CA Configuration Automation Database user is created outside of this installation process, verify that the user has privileges to create and connect to the database. If the user does not have such privileges, the installation process fails.
Type the number of the database action, then press Enter.
The installation program prompts you to define the database administrator user name:
```
Database Administrator (DEFAULT: sa):
```
Enter the database administrator user name, or press Enter to accept the default (sa for the SQL Server databases).
Note: For the Oracle databases, do not use the default database administrator user name (system). The application creates CA Configuration Automation objects in the Oracle database administrator tablespace, and the system user tablespace cannot contain user objects.

The installation program prompts you to specify the administrator password:
```
Database Administrator Password:
```
Enter the password that is associated with the database administrator you defined in Step 13.
- If you are using a SQL Server database, the installation program prompts you to specify the database name:
```
Database Name (DEFAULT: cca):
```
- If you are using an Oracle database, the installation program prompts you to define the tablespace name:
```
Tablespace Name (DEFAULT: cca):
```
Do one of the following actions, depending on the database type:

SQL Server

Press Enter to accept the default database name, or enter a different name and then press Enter.

Oracle

Press Enter to accept the default tablespace name, or enter a different name and then press Enter.

The installation program prompts you to specify the database user name:
```
Database User (DEFAULT: cca):
```
Type the CA Configuration Automation Database user name and press Enter, or press Enter to accept the default.
The installation program prompts you to specify the database user password:
```
Database User Password:
```
Type the password that is associated with the CA Configuration Automation Database user you specified in Step 16, then press Enter.
The installation program prompts you to confirm the password:
```
Retype Password:
```
Retype the password, then press Enter.
The installation program creates the CA Configuration Automation Database instance and user (as appropriate), loads the database, and creates the CA Configuration Automation Server configuration file.

Note: To change any of the database settings, complete the installation and then edit the cca.properties file as described in Edit Database Properties.

Enter the port that Tomcat uses to communicate and listen for redirect or shutdown requests, then press Enter.

Standard

Provides the deep configuration management that CCA Component Blueprints historically provide.

Light

Supports the CA CMDB customers who use CA Configuration Automation as an engine for discovering software components and the relationships between them.

The Light Component Blueprints increase performance and scalability by only discovering the data that is useful to CA CMDB customers. Light Component Blueprints do not typically include files, registry entries, and configuration data that do not contain relationships. They do include the Discovery Parameters and the data (CIs, attributes, and relationships) that is exported to CA CMDB.
