Building a Custom Connector Using the Sample Connector › How to Install and Run the Sample Connector › Install the Sample Connector

Install the Sample Connector

Install the Sample connector on any supported operating system using the installer provided with CA SOI. The connector must be able to connect to an SA Manager system, but does not have to be on the same system as the SA Manager.

Note: If you want to build a custom connector using the Sample connector framework, install the Sample connector on the SA Manager.

Follow these steps:

1. Run the Connector_Sample.exe file at the root of the CA SOI installation image and click Next.
2. Accept the license agreement, then accept the third-party license agreements, and click Next.

   The Choose Install Folder screen opens.

   Note: This page does not open if CA SOI components already reside on the system.

3. Accept, enter, or choose the installation folder.

   Note: The maximum installation path length is 150 characters. The installer blocks paths with more than 150 characters.

   If you are not installing on the SA Manager server, the Integration Services Configuration page opens; otherwise, skip to Step 5.

4. Specify the required information to connect to the appropriate SA Manager and configure connector preferences.

   Note: Refer to your Installation Worksheet in the SA Manager section for these values. For more information about the Installation Worksheet, see the Implementation Guide.

5. Select whether to start the CA SOI services after installation and click Next.
6. Click Install.

   The connector installs on the system and integrates with the appropriate CA SOI instance. An installation summary page opens when the installation finishes.

7. (Optional) Review the installation log file (Sample_Install_releasenumber) that is in the SOI_HOME\log folder to check for installation errors.
