Configuring › Launch the Configuration Tool

Launch the Configuration Tool

The configuration tool lets you change the initial settings for CA CCI, CA DRAS, LDAP, ADMINID, and your database. You can edit and change the configuration as often as necessary.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that the Java bin folder is present in the PATH for the configuration.
2. (System Level External Configuration) To use external configuration, verify that the CAOMWV12_HOME variable exists.
3. Locate the configuration tool in the following directory:

   <installation_directory>/util
   

4. Execute the configuration tool as follows:

   Windows

   1. Set util as the current folder from the command prompt.
   2. Execute configtool.bat.

   Linux/UNIX

   1. Set util as the current folder from the console.
   2. Execute configtool.sh.

   Important! If you are using the embedded Apache Tomcat, stop Apache Tomcat before you start the configuration tool. You should not run two copies of the configuration tool at once.

5. Select your configuration type:

   External System Level Configuration

   (Recommended) Lets you update your application easily, and then you copy the application to multiple systems, without having to reconfigure the product.

   Application Level External Configuration

   Lets you have two or more copies of the product on one Java application web server, or on one computer.

   Important! If you are using Application Level External Configuration, be sure to select a different CCI (Common Communications Interface) Client System ID for each CA OM Web Viewer on your network.

   Note: By default, the Client System ID will be a modified version of your computer name. However, if you have two instances of CA OM Web Viewer on the same computer they must each have a different Client System IDs.

   Application Level Internal Configuration

   Your site security restrictions do not allow web applications to access files outside of the web application.

6. Select the settings that you want to configure from the menu.

   Important! If you are running the configuration tool for the first time, for example, the initial configuration after an install, select the All Web Viewer Settings menu option.

7. Create the configuration by completing all the sections in the wizard.

   You can edit the configuration as often as necessary.

8. Exit the utility after the configuration completes.
9. (Optional) To use the configuration files on a different computer, copy them to an alternate location.
10. Restart the CA OM Web Viewer application or redeploy the application as needed for the changes to take effect.
