Install the iConsole

You install the iConsole servers using the CA DataMinder iConsole installation wizard.

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 Web Server and then click Install.

   This launches the CA DataMinder iConsole installation wizard in a separate window.

4. In the iConsole installation wizard, navigate to the Custom Setup screen.
5. In the Custom Setup screen, choose the Front-End Web Server and/or the Application Server.

   If you only install the front‑end Web server, go to step 6.

   If you install both the application server and front‑end Web server on the same machine, the front-end Web automatically connects to the local application server. Go to step 7.

6. In the iConsole Configuration screen, connect the front‑end Web server to an application server:

   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.

7. In the final wizard screen, click Install to start the file transfer.

   But note there are several optional post-installation tasks.
