Installing an Agent with CA Software Delivery
Packages are available to deliver CA Enterprise Log Manager agents with the CA Software Delivery program. The required packages are located in the CA Enterprise Log Manager Application ISO image.
Use the Windows-only program, SDRegister.exe, to register software delivery packages with the Software Delivery Manager. These packages contain pre-recorded sample response files that are only for use as templates. The sample response files (*.iss and *.rsp) reside in separate directories identified by operating system name.
You can run SDRegister.exe from its current location lower in the directory structure to register one package at a time, or it can be run from a root directory to see and register all available packages at one time.
To deliver CA Enterprise Log Manager agents to Windows hosts through a USD/DSM server, you need:
- A DSM/USD server.
- A DSM/USD agent on each host where you plan to install an agent, where the DSM/USD agent points to your DSM./USD server.
To use USD packages for Unicenter Software Delivery
- Access a Windows server and open the CA Enterprise Log Manager Application ISO image, or access the Application DVD's file list.
- Navigate to the directory, \USDPackages.
- Run the SDRegister.exe program.
- Select products to register, view and acknowledge the related license files, and register the necessary installation, update, or uninstall files with the Software Delivery Manager. These sealed packages are not yet ready for deployment or distribution.
- Unseal the packages and update the sample response files using one of the following methods:
- (Recommended) Record the customized response file (.iss) using the instructions detailed in the applicable procedure listed below.
- Modify the existing sample response files to reflect your local environment.
- Install one agent using the custom response file to verify your settings, then re-seal the package.
- Distribute and deploy the packages to the appropriate systems using the CA Server interface.
