Install the IFW Proxy

The IFW Proxy enables CA SOI to visualize and manage data that the CA Catalyst r3.2 connectors provide. Install the IFW Proxy on each CA Catalyst Container system that hosts connectors that you want to manage in CA SOI. A CA Catalyst Container is required on the system on which you install the IFW Proxy. If you have multiple CA Catalyst Containers hosting connectors on a single system, install a separate IFW Proxy to communicate with each Container.

We recommend that all connectors are installed on the CA Catalyst Container system before you install the IFW Proxy. However, you can install a connector on a Container system after installing the IFW Proxy.

Follow these steps:

  1. Run soi.ifwproxy.exe from the IFW Proxy Patch on the CA Catalyst Container system that hosts connectors that you want to manage in CA SOI.

    Note: If multiple CA Catalyst Containers are available on the system, the IFW Proxy installer prompts you to select the appropriate Container.

    The IFW Proxy installer opens to the Introduction page.

  2. Accept both license agreements and click Next.
  3. Enter SA Manager information as follows, and click Next.

    Note: Refer to your Installation Worksheet in the SA Manager section for these values.

    SA Admin

    Defines the administrator user name that is created during the CA SOI installation.

    Default: samuser

    Password

    Defines the password for the administrator user.

    Manager host

    Defines the host name where the SA Manager is installed.

    ActiveMQ port

    Defines the ActiveMQ Server port through which connector communication occurs.

    Default: 61616

    UCF broker port

    Defines a valid port for the UCF Broker to send information that is created or updated in CA SOI to the CA Catalyst r3.2 connector.

    Default: 8020

    Use DNS for name resolution

    The IFW Proxy does not use this value.

    Connector name

    Defines the name that is displayed for all connectors from this source. If you are implementing a high availability solution, change this value to the virtual host name.

  4. Click Install.

    The IFW Proxy installs, and the Install Complete page opens. If errors display, check the CA_IFWProxy_InstallLog.log file installed to CATALYST_HOME\containerName\logs for details.

    Note: CATALYST_HOME denotes the root CA Catalyst installation directory, which is C:\Program Files\CA\Catalyst by default.

  5. (Optional) Repeat Steps 1-4 for all local or remote CA Catalyst Containers that host connectors that you want to manage in CA SOI.
