How to Start a CSE Client

Follow these steps:

  1. Find the client icon in the Start menu. Select Start, All Programs, CA, Gen xx, CSE Clients.

    Note:xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. For the current release number, see the Release Notes.

  2. Start the client by selecting the icon.
  3. Log on to the client by entering your user ID and password in the User group box of the client's logon panel.
  4. Enter the CSE server hostname and service name or port number in the Message Dispatcher Connection group box.
  5. Click OK or press Enter to complete the logon process. The CSE client's main panel opens.

The clients store the latest user ID and CSE hostname information in the CSE_USER and CSE_HOST environment variables and use these values to populate the logon panel fields. The client never automatically populates the password field.

When the ID, hostname, and service or port fields contain correct values, and your account does not have an assigned password, click OK to log in. If your account does have a password, enter the password and click OK to log in.
