Prepare the Enterprise Management Server on Windows

Valid on Windows

Before you install the Enterprise Management Server, you prepare the server. If you are upgrading an r12.5 or later installation, you have already prepared the Enterprise Management Server and you do not need to complete these steps again.

Note: When you install the Enterprise Management Server, the installation program also installs CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management, if it is not already installed. If you have installed CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management, do not repeat those steps.

Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the central database for Enterprise Management.

   You can also choose to prepare the database by manually creating and configuring the central database using the RDBMS native management tools.

2. Install the prerequisite software using one of the following methods:
   • Run the prerequisite installation utility.

     CA ControlMinder provides a utility that installs the Java Development Kit (JDK) and the JBoss application server. If you already have installed the software, you can skip this step.

   • Use existing software or install the prerequisite software manually, as follows:

     Note: You can find prerequisite third-party software on the CA ControlMinder Third Party Components DVDs. For information about supported versions, see the Release Notes.

     1. Install a supported version of Java Development Kit (JDK).
     2. Install a supported JBoss version. We recommend that you run JBoss as a service.

        Note: If you already have JBoss installed, we recommend that you run JBoss once before installing CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management to resolve any open ports issues. The CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management installation program does not use the default JBoss ports. For example, the installation program uses port number 18080 rather than port number 8080 for HTTP connections. Verify that you specify the ports that JBoss uses during the Enterprise Management Server installation.

   You can now install CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management on the Enterprise Management Server.
