Install CA Mediation Manager

This procedure describes the steps to install the CA Mediation Manager application on Windows or UNIX systems.

Follow these steps:

1. Start the CA Mediation Manager installation with the corresponding command based on your operating system:
   • UNIX systems

     # $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar CAMM-Installer-2.1.4.jar
     

   • Windows systems
     1. Insert the installation CD-ROM and open Windows Explorer.
     2. Locate and double-click the executable JAR file, CAMM-Installer-2.1.4.jar.
2. Click Next on the Welcome dialog.
3. Read the Important Information and click Next.
4. Review the licensing agreement and click Next.
5. Specify a target path in which to install the CA Mediation Manager software. As an alternative, click Choose to browse for an installation location.

   Note: When installing on a Windows System, the default installation directory is

   C:\Program Files\CA\CAMM.
   

   Note: When installing on a Unix System (Linux or Solaris), the default installation directory is /opt/CA/CAMM.

6. Select Typical for new installation or Upgrade for upgrading an existing installation.
7. Select one or more required installation packages.
   • MultiController
   • LocalController
8. Configure the following CA Mediation Manager foundation parameters:

   User ID

   Specifies the user ID for the Generic Executor for the CA Mediation Manager installation. The user ID is the CAMM_USER and defaults to the current user ID.

   Port

   Specifies the port on which Generic Executor listens.

   Default:

   TCP port 29560.

9. (Optional) Configure the following parameters of primary MultiController:

   Note: If this installation is the first installation, configure the primary MultiController. You can configure a secondary MultiController in a subsequent dialog.

   MC IP Address

   Specifies the IP address for this MultiController.

   MC Port

   Specifies the port on which the MultiController operates.

   Default: 29599

   MC Type

   Determines whether this MultiController is primary or secondary.

   Failover Threshold

   Determines the elapsed time with no received heartbeat messages, in seconds, and signals LocalController failure. When this threshold is reached, the MultiController activates the standby LocalController.

   Will the other MC exist in the cluster?

   Indicates that another MultiController exists or may exist in the cluster.

10. (Optional) Configure the following parameter for another MultiController in the same cluster:

    The Other MC IP

    Specifies the secondary MultiController IP address, if you installed and configured a primary MultiController.

    If you installed a secondary MultiController in a previous step, this value is the primary MultiController IP address.

    If this server is a backup server, install the secondary MultiController on a different host server.

11. Configure the following parameters for the web authentication:

    User

    Specifies the login name for the user who acts as the CA Mediation Manager Web Manager.

    Default: Admin

    Password

    Specifies the login password for the CA Mediation Manager Web Manager admin account.

12. (Optional) Configure the following parameters for LocalController. You need at least one LocalController on any server on which the Engine and Presenter subcomponents reside.

    LC IP

    Specifies the IP address for the LocalController.

    LC Port

    Specifies the port on which this LocalController operates.

    Default: 29598

    LC Type

    Specifies whether the LocalController is active or on standby.

    Failover Threshold

    Determines the time that has elapsed with no received heartbeat messages in seconds, which signals subcomponent failure. When the threshold is reached, the LocalController restarts the Engine, Presenter, or both.

13. Review the installation summary and click Install.
14. Click Done.

    The installation is complete.

15. Navigate to $CAMM_HOME and check the installer information in the version.xml file. The content format in the version.xml file is as follows:
