Install Using the Wizard

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in as a user authorized to install software with write permissions to the target installation directory on the target server.
  2. Change to the directory that contains the CA Configuration Automation Server installation program for your operating system:
    Linux
    $ cd dvd1/CCA/Server/Linux
    Solaris
    $ cd dvd1/CCA/Server/Solaris
  3. Enter the following command: 
    $ ./installserver.bin

    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 wizard starts and displays the Introduction.

  4. Read the Introduction screen and click Next.

    Note: If you cancel an installation, the program does not automatically remove installed files. To uninstall these files, use the provided uninstaller. The uninstaller is located in the target installation directory that you specify in Step 7.

  5. On the License Agreement page, scroll and read the License Agreement, select I accept the terms of the License Agreement, and click Next.
  6. On the Important Information page, read the copyright and software use information and click Next.
  7. Take one of the following actions on the Choose Installation Location page:

    The path names on UNIX-based systems can contain only alphanumeric, underscore ( _ ), and forward slash ( / ) characters (no embedded blanks or other special characters). If the directory you specify does not exist, the installation wizard creates it for you.

    The Database Server screen appears.

  8. On the Database Server page, complete the following fields, then click Next:
    Database Type

    Defines the type of database that is used for the CA Configuration Automation Database.

    Server Name

    Defines the name or the IP address of the CA Configuration Automation Database server.

    The application supports maximal extended form and maximal abbreviated form addresses for IPv6 addresses. The application does not support link local IPv6 addresses.

    Port Number

    Defines the database listening port number. Accept the default or enter a different port number if you did not use the vendor‑recommended default port number when you installed the database software.

    Defaults:

    • Microsoft SQL Server: 1433
    • Oracle: 1521
    Instance Name

    (Microsoft SQL Server only) Defines the database instance name.

  9. On the Database Information page, complete the following fields, then click Next:
    Database Action

    Specifies one of the following actions:

    • Create Database and User
    • Create Database
    • Use Existing Database.
    Database Administrator

    Defines the database administrator name. Take one of the following actions:

    • Accept the default administrator name (system or sa).

      Note: On an Oracle database, do not use the default database administrator (system). Oracle database administrators have CA Configuration Automation objects that are created in the administrator tablespace, and system administrator tablespace cannot contain user objects.

    • Enter the name of the database administrator user with the permissions to create the database instance.

      Note: This option only appears when you are creating an instance.

    Database Administrator Password

    Defines the password that is associated with the database administrator user you specified in the previous field.

    Note: This option only appears when you are creating an instance.

    Database Name

    Defines the user name authorized to create or update the CA Configuration Automation Database schema.

    Database User

    Defines the database user name.

    Database User Password

    Defines the password that is associated with the specified CA Configuration Automation Database user. Retype the password in the Re-type Password field.

    Oracle SID

    (Oracle only) Defines the Oracle database System Identifier (instance name).

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

    (Microsoft SQL Server only) The application displays a warning that the CA Configuration Automation Server uses CLR functions in SQL Server to implement regular expressions in SQL queries.

  10. Verify that the global CLR Enabled flag is set, then click Yes.
  11. On the Web Server Configuration page, complete the following fields, then click Next:
    HTTP Port

    Defines the port that Tomcat uses to communicate with the CA Configuration Automation Server.

    Redirect Port

    Defines the port on which Tomcat listens for redirect requests.

    Shutdown Port

    Defines the port on which Tomcat listens for shutdown requests.

  12. On the Grid Configuration page, complete the following fields, then click Next:
    TCP Base Port

    Defines the port on which CA Configuration Automation listens for grid process requests.

    TCP Port Range

    Defines the range of ports relative to the base port that can be used to process grid requests.

  13. On the Blueprint Imports page, select the type of Component Blueprints to install, then click Next.
    Standard Blueprints

    Provides the deep configuration management that CA Configuration Automation Component Blueprints historically provide.

    Light Blueprints

    Supports the CA CMDB customers who use CA Configuration Automation as an engine to discover 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.

  14. On the Notification Configuration page, complete the following fields, then click Next.

If the names do not match, you cannot view the Access Management page in the CA Configuration Automation Server UI. The Access Management page is where CA EEM appears in the CA Configuration Automation Server UI. For more information, see the Product Guide or the online help.

    Administrator

    Defines the CA EEM administrator user name.

    Administrator Password
