Install Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle)

Install Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) 4.x on the local computer where you install CA APM. Kettle is required only if you are upgrading from Release 11.3.4 to Release 12.9 or if you previously upgraded from Release 11.3.4 to Release 12.8.

Note: You can install Kettle before or after installing CA APM. However, we recommend that you install Kettle 4.x before you install CA APM.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in as the administrator to the computer where you are installing CA APM.
  2. Download Kettle from the CA Support website and install Kettle on the server where you install CA APM Release 12.9. Complete the following steps to download Kettle:

    2. Save pentaho-kettle-4.4.0.zip in the desired directory.

      Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\ITAM\

    3. Extract the contents of pentaho-kettle-4.4.0.zip.

      A new folder named Kettle is created. Note the path of the folder.

  3. Create an environment variable for Kettle by completing these steps.
    1. Click Start, Run, and type sysdm.cpl to access System Properties.
