CA EEM and CA Workflow Installation Planning

To help you plan for a successful CA EEM and CA Workflow installation and configuration, use the following information to research and gather information.

• Research—Complete the following steps:
  • Read your CA EEM and CA Workflow documentation, including both the Release Notes and optional readme file (if available).

    Note: CA EEM is not a configuration option in CA SDM. CA EEM requires a separate installation.

  • Find out if you have an existing CA EEM installation that you can use with CA Workflow. In this situation, do not install CA EEM again. Instead, install CA Workflow and reference your existing CA EEM installation.
  • Note your CA EEM administration password; you need the password during the installation.
• CA Workflow Installation—Complete the following steps:
  • Before you try to install CA Workflow, verify that you have installed CA EEM. You cannot install CA Workflow until this product is installed.
  • If you want to use CA Workflow with CA SDM r12.9, download the CA SDM r12.7 ISO from CA Support Online and then install CA Workflow.
  • The Tomcat port number for CA SDM defaults to 8080, and 8090 for CA Workflow. If these port numbers are already in use by another product, change the port numbers for CA SDM and CA Workflow so you do not have a conflict.
• CA EEM and AIX—If you are installing CA EEM on AIX, and you have configured AIX for Network Information Service (NIS), add a user named dsa before you install CA EEM and CA SDM. In this situation, complete the following steps:
  1. Create a user with the user ID dsa.
  2. Set the dsa home directory to /opt/CA/eTrustDirectory/dxserver. If the directories do not exist, manually create them.

     Note: This step is only required for CA EEM Release 8.3 and earlier. The home directory for CA EEM 8.4 has changed to /opt/CA/Directory/dxserver and is automatically created during installation.

  3. Make dsa the owner of /opt/CA/eTrustDirectory and all subdirectories. To make dsa the owner, you can use a command similar to the following:

     chown -R dsa /opt/CA/eTrustDirectory

  4. Verify that the user exists, the home directory, and ownership of /opt/CA/eTrustDirectory.
