Installing Event Import

We recommend that you install Event Import on a gateway server. Gateways inherit the common gateway machine policy. You must confirm that the Infrastructure settings in this policy are appropriate for your network.

To install Event Import, you run the CA Data Protection server installation wizard.

To install Event Import

  1. Find setup.exe in the root of your CA Data Protection distribution image. Run setup.exe to launch the CA Data Protection installation wizard.

    The Installation Type screen opens.

  2. Click Advanced Installation.
  3. In the Advanced Install Options screen, choose CA Data Protection Platform and then click Install.

    This launches the CA Data Protection server installation wizard in a separate window.

  4. In the server installation wizard, navigate to the Customer Setup screen.
  5. In the Custom Setup screen, expand the Enterprise Server feature and choose Event Import.

    We recommend that you also install the Templates subfeature. This installs the template import configuration files. Each of these contains the minimum parameters needed for a specific type of import operation (for example, importing from Exchange mailboxes).

  6. In the Server Type screen, choose a gateway server.
  7. In the final wizard screen, click Install to start the file transfer.
