How to Deploy Content Services

To deploy CA Data Protection Content Services, follow these steps:

1. Install a new IDOL content database. You can install the content database on any 64-bit Windows server.

   Alternatively, you can use an existing IDOL content database.

2. Install the CA Data Protection IDOL Connector. This feature connects CA Data Protection to the IDOL connector framework.

   You must install the connector framework on the same server as the content indexer and content proxy server. Alternatively, you can use an existing IDOL connector framework.

3. Install the following CA Data Protection components:
   • Content indexer server and console.
   • Content proxy server.

   You can install these components on any CA Data Protection server.

4. Start indexing events into the content database using the content indexer console.

   See the online help for usage instructions,

5. Install the content search onto your iConsole front-end servers.
   • See the iConsole Standard Searches chapter of the Platform Deployment Guide for installation details.
   • See the iConsole online help for usage instructions.

   If content searches are explicitly included in your license agreement, they are available automatically in the Data Management console. See the online help for usage instructions.
