Introduction to Connectors › How to Install CA Catalyst r3.2 Connectors › Install the CA Catalyst Container

Install the CA Catalyst Container

Install a CA Catalyst Container (r3.2 Build 535 or higher) on the systems where you plan to install CA Catalyst r3.2 connectors. You can install multiple CA Catalyst r3.2 connectors on the same system into the same CA Catalyst Container.

For an IFW Proxy implementation, we recommend a Container-only CA Catalyst deployment. This procedure reflects the recommended selections to make in a Container-only environment. The CA Catalyst Server is not required.

Follow these steps:

1. Run catalyst_install.bat from the IFW Proxy Patch.

   The CA Catalyst Container installation wizard opens.

   Note: For all installation pages not mentioned in this procedure, leave the default selections unless the default port numbers are in use. For the simplest deployment experience, complete the Installation Worksheet for the CA Catalyst Container for CA SOI with the values that you enter during installation.

2. Proceed through the wizard, and perform the following actions to prepare for the CA SOI integration:

   New Catalyst Container

   Leave the default selection of Default Connector Container (CatalystConnector) unless you are installing multiple Containers on the same system.

   Choose Install Folder

   Retain the default installation location.

   Configure High Availability

   (Optional) Select Configure for High Availability and enter the necessary information if you are deploying the CA Catalyst Container in a cluster environment.

   CA EEM Server Configuration

   Enter information about the CA EEM server to use for CA Catalyst security. This can be the same CA EEM server that you use for CA SOI. Use the default application name for CA Catalyst; all other values can be the same.

   Administrator Configuration

   Enter CA Catalyst administrator credentials.

   Registry Location

   Select File Registry for a Container-only implementation.

   Catalyst Connector Container Configuration

   Accept the default values unless the ports are already in use.

   HTTP Port

   Retain the default port. If this is the second Container on the same system, the defaults automatically change to avoid conflicts. If this is anything past the second Container on the same system, you must manually change to unused ports.

   Default: 8080, or 8180 on a multiple Container system

   HTTP Service Port

   Retain the default port. If this is the second Container on the same system, the defaults automatically change to avoid conflicts. If this is anything past the second Container on the same system, you must manually change to unused ports.

   Default: 7000, or 7100 on a multiple Container system

   HTTPS Service Port

   Retain the default port. If this is the second Container on the same system, the defaults automatically change to avoid conflicts. If this is anything past the second Container on the same system, manually change to unused ports.

   Default: 7443, or 7543 on a multiple Container system

   Catalyst Services Startup

   Verify that the check box is selected to start the services.

   Specify 64 Bit Support

   If you are installing on a 64-bit system, select Use 64 Bit JRE to install as a 64-bit application.

3. Click Install on the Install Summary page.

   The CA Catalyst Container installs. The Install Complete page displays the results of the installation. To troubleshoot installation errors, see the CATALYST_HOME\containerName\logs\CA_Container_InstallLog.log file, or see the CA Catalyst Installation Guide.

4. Repeat this process on all systems where CA Catalyst Container installation is required for hosting CA Catalyst r3.2 connectors.
