Event Connector › How to Install CA Event Integration and Event Connector › Install the CA Event Integration Manager

Install the CA Event Integration Manager

The Event connector requires the CA Event Integration manager component to function. Install this component in a separate operation before the Event connector. You can install the manager on the same system where you plan to install the Event connector or on a remote system.

Follow these steps:

1. Run the setupEI.hta file that is available on the CA Event Integration installation image in the package.

   The CA Event Integration setup page opens.

2. Click CA Event Integration.

   The Introduction page of the CA Event Integration installation wizard opens.

3. Click Next.

   The License Agreement page opens.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the agreement, select 'I accept the terms of the License Agreement', and click Next.

   The Choose Install Set page opens.

5. Select Manager and click Next.

   The Check License Key page opens.

6. Do one of the following:
   • Enter the license key required to enable integration with CA Spectrum and click Next.
   • Leave the field blank and click Next to install all standard functionality without CA Spectrum integration.

   The Choose Install Folder page opens.

7. Do one of the following to specify the installation folder and click Next:
   • Accept the default.
   • Enter the name of a new installation folder.
   • Click Browse and select an installation folder.

   The Enter Services User page opens.

8. Enter a user name and password for running the product's services and click Next. You can specify an existing local or domain administrator account. The user must be in the Administrators group. If you leave the fields blank, the installer creates a local ca_eis_user administrator account to run the services.

   The Enter Database Configuration - Step 1 page opens.

9. Do one of the following:
   • Click Next (without enabling trusted authentication) to use SQL Server credentials to create the manager database. This option requires you to enter an internal SQL Server database user and password on the next page.
   • Select the Enable check box and click Next to enable trusted authentication, which causes the installer to create the manager database using the installing user's credentials, as long as this user has the credentials necessary to create a database. After installation, CA Event Integration connects to the database using the services user's credentials.

   The Enter Database Configuration - Step 2 page opens.

10. Complete the following fields and click Next:

    Server name

    Specifies the server name, database instance, and port to use for the manager database. You can enter a node name or IP address for the database server. Use the following syntax to enter a server name, instance, and port in this field:

    dbserver\instance:port
    

    You must enter a port number if you are using a named instance. You can omit the \instance specification if you are not using a database instance or you want to use the default instance; and you can leave out the :port specification if you are using the default database port (1433) on the default instance.

    User

    (SQL authentication only) Specifies the user name of the user who will create the manager database and perform database operations. Enter an internal (mixed mode) SQL Server user with the authority to create a database.

    Password

    (SQL authentication only) Specifies the password associated with the user name defined in the User field.

    The Configure Manager Application Server page opens.

11. Complete the following fields and click Next:

    Tomcat shutdown port
