Installing Searches, Reports, and the Dashboard

This section describes how to install the iConsole standard searches, reports, and the dashboard. You must repeat the installation on your CMS, your iConsole application servers and your iConsole front-end Web servers.

To install on the CMS

Before you start, make sure that your database engine is properly configured.

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

   The Installation Type screen opens.

2. Click Advanced Installation.
3. In the Advanced Install Options screen, choose iConsole Standard Searches and Reports and then click Install.

   This launches the Standard Reports installation wizard in a separate window.

4. In the Standard Reports installation wizard, navigate to the Custom Setup screen.
5. In the Custom Setup screen, choose the reports you want to install. You must choose the same combination of reports when you run reports.msi on your iConsole servers (see the following sections).
6. In the final wizard screen, click Install to start the file transfer.

To install on iConsole application servers

1. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the CMS instructions above.
2. In the Custom Setup screen, choose the reports you want to install. You must choose the same combination of reports that you installed on your CMS.
3. In the Administrator Credentials screen, enter account details (name and password) for the Primary Administrator.

   Note: CA DataMinder creates the Primary Administrator account during installation. This account has full administrative privileges and full management group coverage.

4. The installation wizard now has all the information it needs. Click Install to start the file transfer.

To install on iConsole front-end Web servers

1. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the CMS instructions above.
2. In the Custom Setup screen, choose the reports you want to install. You must choose the same combination of reports that you installed on your CMS.
3. In the iConsole Application Server Details screen, if no iConsole application server is installed locally you will need to specify which iConsole application server to connect to.

   Server

   Specify the name or IP address of the machine hosting the application server. Type localhost to specify the local machine.

   Port

   Specify the TCP port used for communication between front-end Web server and the application server. This defaults to port 80. If you specify a non-default port, you must also update the application server to use the same port.

   Use SSL

   If you intend to use SSL to communicate over a secure port (for example, 443), select this check box. This ensures that the port used for communication between the front-end Web server and the application server will use SSL.

4. The installation wizard now has all the information it needs. Click Install to start the file transfer.
