Preparing to Install CA IDMS Server

The following must be installed before you install CA IDMS Server:

• CAICCI/PC, required to use the ODBC driver with CA IDMS releases prior to r17 and the JDBC driver with CA IDMS releases prior to r16 SP2.
• ODBC Driver Manager and Administrator, required to use the ODBC driver or Type 2 JDBC driver
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6 or later, required to use the JDBC driver

Obtain the following information from your CA IDMS system administrator:

• The name of the dictionary containing the definitions of the tables you access.
• For the CCI protocol you need the node name of the system on which the dictionary resides and the host name and port for CCITCP (the default port is 1202).
• For the IDMS protocol you need the host name and port for the CA IDMS system
• The task code defined for CA IDMS Server. The default for the CCI protocol is CASERVER and the default for the IDMS protocol is IDMSJSRV.

You must use a user ID with administrative privileges when installing CA IDMS Server and CAICCI/PC.

For your convenience, the complete CAICCI/PC installation is included in the CCI directory on the CA IDMS Server CD. It can be installed from the CA IDMS Server Product Explorer that starts automatically when the CD is inserted, or after double-clicking Setup.exe on the CD's setup directory.
