Installing a Device Pack › Install a Device Pack

Install a Device Pack

You can install a Device Pack through the CA Mediation Manager Web UI.

Follow these steps:

1. Launch the CA Mediation Manager Web UI:

   http://<PrimaryMCMachineIP>:<web-port>/tim-web/index.htm
   

   Where <web-port > is the port number that is configured during the CA Mediation Manager Installation and <PrimaryMCMachine IP> is the IP Address/Hostname of the primary MultiController system.

2. Enter the login credentials.
3. Select Device Packs from the CA Mediation Manager Cluster node in the Dashboard.
4. Select Install.

   The Deployment Selection dialog appears.

5. Select the Destination LocalController where you want to install the Device Pack from the Destination drop-down.
   • If the Device Pack you want to install is located in the Device Pack repository shipped with the current release of CA Mediation Manager, select the MultiController Repository check box.
   • If the Device Pack you want to install is not located in the Device Pack repository and resides in the local system, use the Browse button to locate the Device Pack.
6. Select the ENGINE_<devicepack>.zip file or the PRESENTER_<devicepack>.zip file that you want to install.
7. Select Next.

   The global external variables for the selected Engine or Presenter are displayed.

8. Provide the configuration parameters specific to the Device Pack that is being installed.

   Note: For more information about specific Device Pack configuration files, see the corresponding Engine readme file by selecting ReadMe from the Web UI.

9. Select Finish.

   The Device Pack is installed.

Install the CA eHealth Certification

Install the certification to work with CA eHealth.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that you meet the following prerequisites:
   • The LocalController must be installed on the CA eHealth server using the same user credentials that were used to install CA eHealth.
   • The PRESENTER_<devicepack> component must be installed on the LocalController that is running on the CA eHealth server.
   • $NH_HOME must be set to the CA eHealth installation directory. To confirm execute following command:

     echo $NH_HOME
     

2. Copy the $CAMM_HOME/MC/eHealthCerts/CERT_<devicepack>.zip file to the $NH_HOME directory of your CA eHealth server.
3. Open a command prompt, type bash, and execute the following command:

   unzip CERT_<devicepack>.zip
   

4. Modify the $NH_HOME/modules/<devicepack>/camm.env script to provide the path details to JRE and the CAMM installation folder.
5. Create a soft link from $CAMM_HOME/output/PRESENTER_<devicepack> to $NH_HOME/modules/<devicepack>/ddiData.
6. Append the content of the $NH_HOME/db/data/variable.usr_<devicepack> file to $NH_HOME/db/data/variable.usr.
   • Before combining the content, verify whether there are any duplicate variables in both files.
     • If you find duplicate variables, remove the duplicate variables and save the final $NH_HOME/db/data/variable.usr file.
   • Consider the final variables in the variable.usr file and map the variables.
   • Verify the mapping of the variable IDs in the variable.usr file and the elementTypeVariable.usr file.
   • Ensure that the variable IDs mapped in the elementTypeVariable.usr file are located in the variable.usr file.
7. Append the content of the $NH_HOME/db/data/elementTypeVariable.usr_<devicepack> file to $NH_HOME/db/data/elementTypeVariable.usr.
8. Stop the CA eHealth server with the following command:

   nhServer stop 
   

9. Convert the database schema for a software upgrade using the following command:

   nhConvertDb
   

   Wait until the database conversion executes successfully.

10. Start the CA eHealth server with the following command:

    nhServer start 
    

11. Modify $NH_HOME/modules/<devicepack>/modules.defaults.init to suit your specific poll requirements.
12. Go to $NH_HOME/modules/camm<devicepackname> directory and execute the following command to discover your new elements:

    ./cammpoll -c -j -l
    

    CA eHealth automatically calls cammpoll to poll the elements.

    cammpoll is successful when you see the elements in CA eHealth OneClick under Manage Resources, Groups, <devicepack>.

Note: You only execute cammpoll manually, once. Take note of any situation afterward in which you execute the cammpoll command manually, because it represents an error condition. In normal operations, CA eHealth executes the cammpoll command automatically.
