Use the Custom Vendor Certification Installer

Use the CA Performance Management Certification Installer, which is on the Data Aggregator, to import a certification. The installer lets you install certifications in three ways:

• Single certification
• Collection of certifications in the form of a ZIP file
• All of the certifications in a directory (must point directly to the folder containing the certification)

Follow these steps:

1. Download and run the installer.

   The installer is available at the following URL:

   http://<DA>:8581/cert/install.htm
   

   <DA>

   The hostname of your Data Aggregator.

   Note: The default REST port is 8581.

2. Select a language for the installer.
3. Enter the following information when the corresponding prompts appear:
   • DA Hostname
   • DA REST port
4. Select whether you want to install a single certification, a collection (ZIP) of certifications, or all of the certifications in a directory.

   Select the folder in which your certifications are located when installing from a directory. The certification installer does not search any sub-directories for certifications.

5. The installer checks the version of each certification during the installation process.

   If the Data Aggregator indicates that a certification is already installed, the certification installer tries to upgrade the certification. If the installer fails to upgrade the certification, an error appears to specify the reason for the failure.

6. When the installer has finished installing certifications, any encountered errors appear.

   You can review the error details in the log files that the installer creates in the Home directory of your computer.

Note: You may also install a certification using the Linux command-line or UI installer.
