Register CA Network Flow Analysis

Register the product in the Performance Center Console--on the Manage Data Sources page (CA PC) or the Data Source List page (NPC).

Note: For information about the number of data sources that you can use, see the Release Notes for your Performance Center version.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that no one else is running a session of CA Network Flow Analysis. If multiple users write to the database simultaneously, problems can result.
2. Log in to the Performance Center Console as a user who has the Administrator role.
3. Click Admin, Data Sources.

   The current list of registered data sources are shown on the Manage Data Sources page (CA PC) or the Data Source List page (NPC).

4. Click Add (CA PC) or New (NPC).

   The Add Data Source dialog opens.

5. Select the type of data source you want to add from the Source Type list.

   Note: All CA products that can be registered as data sources are shown in the Source Type list. The list is not filtered to hide products that are installed already.

6. Enter the Host Name of the data source.

   The hostname is the IP address or DNS hostname of the server that hosts the database for the data source. For a distributed deployment of the product, enter the hostname of the NFA console or stand-alone server.

7. Enter the port to use for contacting CA Network Flow Analysis.

   For more information about the port setting, see the CA Single Sign-On User Guide.

8. Select the protocol to use for contacting the data source. Select https if your network uses SSL for communications. Verify that you have configured the system correctly before you select the https option.

   Note: For more information about using SSL for communication between the product and Performance Center, see the CA Single Sign-On User Guide.

9. (Optional) Enter a Display Name for the CA Network Flow Analysis data source.

   If you do not enter a name, a default name is created by combining the data source type and hostname. For example, you can use a default name like NetworkFlowAnalysis@xxx.x.x.xx or you can use a name like NetworkFlowAnalysis_NewYork.

10. Confirm whether the web console address is the same as the Host Name. If it is not, take the following steps:
    • Clear the 'Same as Data Source' check box.
    • Provide the web console hostname, port, and protocol.
11. Click Save.

    The updated list shows the data sources that are registered.
