Run the UNIX Installer

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

chmod+x /cabi-linux-3_2_00/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:

Follow these steps:

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 IdentityMinder product downloads.

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

   /cabi-solaris-3_2_00/cabiinstall.sh
   

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.
