Run the UNIX Installer

Add execute permissions to the install file by running the following command:

chmod+x /ca-iamreportserver-12.5-solaris/cabiinstall.sh

Important! The installer may crash if executed across different subnets. To avoid this problem, install the Report Server directly on the host system.

To install the Report Server

1. Log in as the non-root user you created to install the Report Server.
2. Exit all applications.
3. Download the Report Server and untar it.

   Note: The Report Server is available for download on the CA Support site, under CA Identity Manager product downloads.

4. Open a command window and navigate to where the install program is located.
5. Enter the following command:

   /ca-iamreportserver-12.5-solaris/cabiinstall.sh console
   

6. Use the gathered reporting information to install the Report Server.

   Note the following:

   • Select a New install during installation. This choice helps ensure that you use MySQL as the Report Database. If you set non-default ports to avoid port conflicts, select a Custom install, but be sure to select MySQL for the Report Database.
   • Select Tomcat as the web server.
   • The installer installs the Report Server to /opt/CA/SharedComponents/CommonReporting3. Specifying another location does not change the installation location. So the /opt/CA directory must have non-root user permissions or the installation fails.
7. Review the installation settings and click Install.

   The Report Server is installed.
