Install the new Identity Manager server on a WebLogic Cluster

Before deploying Identity Manager to the cluster, deploy it in a cluster domain in the Administration Server to verify that it installs correctly. The cluster domain serves as a staging area where you can test Identity Manager and then deploy it to other nodes in the cluster.

When you supply a cluster name during the installation, these primary resources will be configured:

• Distributed queues/topics with Round-Robin as the default load-balancing algorithm, all targeted to cluster name provided.
• Connection factories targeted to cluster name provided.
• Data sources also targeted to cluster name provided.
• Two JMS modules: imjmsmodule and wpjmsmodule.

During the installation, the following EARs are installed to that cluster domain at the following root weblogic_home\user_projects\domains\<domain name>\applications.

• iam_im.ear
• ca-stylesr5.1.1.ear

Note: Make sure that you have the required information for installer screens, such as host names and passwords. If any issues occur during installation, check the installation logs.

To install Identity Manager on the WebLogic Admin Server

1. Update the /etc/hosts file if you are installing on a UNIX system.

   Include IP addresses and hostnames of any remote system that you plan to include during the installation.

2. On the system that hosts the WebLogic Admin Server, install the Identity Manager server using the installation program:
   • Windows: From your installation media, run the following program:

     ca-im-release-win32.exe
     

   • UNIX: From your installation media, run the following program:

     ca-im-release-sol.bin
     

   release represents the current release of CA Identity Manager.

   Be sure to provide the existing CA Identity Manager database credentials during the install and that all values from the previous release of CA Identity Manager are replaced with r12.5 SP8 values.

   Important! If you are upgrading from CA Identity Manager r12 and you have different database stores for task persistence, workflow, audit, and reports, you will need to update the data sources manually after installation to point to the separate stores.

3. Select the option to install the Identity Manager Server.

   

   Note: If you see options to upgrade the workflow database and migrate task persistence data during the installation, enable those options. They appear in some scenarios when your previous installation was CA Identity Manager r12.

4. When you reach the WebLogic section, complete it as follows:

   WebLogic Binary Folder

   The location of the application server home directory.

   Domain Folder

   The name of the WebLogic domain you created for Identity Manager.

   Server Name

   The name of the WebLogic server on which the domain is configured.

   Cluster Name

   The name of the cluster.

   Access URL and port

   Supply the URL and the port number for the web server used for load balancing.

   

5. For database credentials, provide the same values that existed at the previous installation.

   

   Important! If you are upgrading from CA Identity Manager r12 and you have different database stores for task persistence, workflow, audit, and reports, update the data sources to point to the separate stores.

6. Create a user on the Login Information section using a password you can recall.

   

7. Review the summary of your upgrade choices and click Install.

   The installer will install the components you selected and gradually update the progress bar.

   

When the installation completes, inspect the Install Complete message. If you see errors on the screen, note the path for the logs, which explain the errors.
