Preparing for Installation › Additional Prerequisites

Additional Prerequisites

Gather the following information:

• Know the computer on which your existing Enterprise Manager is installed.
• Identify these directory locations in your CA Introscope Agent environment:
  • Application server home directory — Home directory of your application server.
  • Agent home directory — Installation directory of the CA Introscope Agent for the application server being monitored.
  • Introscope directory — Installation directory for CA Introscope on your Enterprise Manager computer.
  • The directory where IntroscopeAgent.profile is located, on each agent where you plan to implement Cross-Enterprise APM.

    The agent profile is typically in the top-level directory of the agent installation. The CE APM profile is Introscope_Cross-Enterprise_APM.profile and is found within <host-location>/Cross-Enterprise_APM/config/ Introscope_Cross-Enterprise_APM.profile. The CA Introscope Agent profile is IntroscopeAgent.profile and is found within <Agent_Home>\wily\core\config\ IntroscopeAgent.profile

• Know the components that you plan to install on each computer.

  Note: For more information, see Install and Enable the Enterprise Manager Components and Install and Enable Java Agent Components.

• Know the proxy host name and proxy server port (if you have to provide this information to access the CA APM software download area on CA Support). If your proxy server requires authentication, you must have a valid user name and password for the proxy server.
• Verify if a firewall exists between the CA Cross-Enterprise APM extension and Enterprise Manager, open the CA Cross-Enterprise APM Extension port on the firewall. The extension connects to this port.
