Note: The instances of Linux in this section refer to both the Linux and zLinux operating environments.
If you install CA Software Delivery (CA SDM), set the following parameters to configure the communication and the synchronization of data between CA Harvest SCM and CA SDM.
Install the Server (Custom Installation)
Chapter 2: Installing on Windows 35 USD Server URL
Defines the network (IP) address or host name of the CA Harvest SCM server on which CA Harvest SCM will stage, create, and deploy CA SDM packages.
For a CA SDM server running on Windows, use the following format for the URL:
http://server hostname or network
address/UDSM_R11_WebService/mod_gsoap.dll
For a CA SDM server running on Linux, use the following format for the URL:
http://server hostname or network address/UDSM_R11_WebService Default: None
Limits: 255 characters
Note: The USD Server URL is stored in the usdserver=parameter in the
\CA_SCM_HOME\HServer.arg file. For more information about viewing and updating the parameters in this file, see Set the URL for the CA Software Delivery Server (see page 322).
Example: Specify a Server URL Using the Server Name (Windows)
In this example, to specify the URL for a CA SDM server on Windows, using the server's name (usdsrv01), enter the following parameter:
http://usdsrv01/UDSM_R11_WebService/mod_gsoap.dll Example: Specify a Server URL for a Network Address (Linux)
In this example, to specify the URL for a Linux server whose network address is 138.42.44.57, enter the following parameter:
http://138.42.44.57/UDSM_R11_WebService
Note: For more information about this URL format, see the information about the login web service in the Unicenter Desktop and Server Management (DSM) documentation.
USD Server User Name
Defines the user name for CA Harvest SCM to use to log on to the USD server.
Note: CA SDM is not required to be installed before the CA Harvest SCM server is installed. Therefore, the logon credentials for the USD server and CA Harvest SCM remote agent on the USD server are not validated at installation time. Instead, they are validated when you attempt to invoke one or more “USD” processes from CA Harvest SCM or to synchronize the CA SDM and CA Harvest SCM databases.
For a CA SDM server running on Windows, use the following format for the user name:
winnt://login domain or host name/username
For a CA SDM server running on Linux, use the following format for the user name:
unixl://login domain or host name/username
Install the Server (Custom Installation)
36 Implementation Guide
Default: None Limits: 255 characters
Limits: 255 alphanumeric characters
Important! CA Harvest SCM automatically stores the USD server user name and password (if specified) in the \CA_SCM_HOME\husdsr.dfo file and encrypts this file, using the svrenc utility. To update the USD Server user name, password, or both, you must use the svrenc utility. For more information about using this utility to update them, see the Command Line Reference Guide.
Example: Specify the User Name Using the User's Domain (Windows)
In this example, to specify the user name (usdadmin) for a CA SDM server on Windows, using the name of the user's domain (domain01), enter the following parameter:
winnt://domain01/usdadmin
Example: Specify the User Name Using the Server Host Name (Linux)
In this example, to specify the user name (usdadmin) for a CA SDM server on Linux, using the host name (usdsrv01) of the CA SDM server, enter the following
parameter:
unixl://usdsrv01/usdadmin
Note: For more information about this user format, see the information about the login web service in the Unicenter Desktop and Server Management (DSM) documentation.
USD Server Password
(Optional) Defines the password of the user specified in the USD Server User Name field. Do not enter spaces. If you do not specify a password, an empty password is used.
Default: None Limits: 255 characters
Install the Server (Custom Installation)
Chapter 2: Installing on Windows 37 CA Harvest SCM Agent User Name
Defines the user name for CA Harvest SCM to use to access the CA Harvest SCM remote agent running on the USD server.
Note: CA SDM is not required to be installed before the CA Harvest SCM server is installed. Therefore, the logon credentials for the USD server and CA Harvest SCM remote agent on the USD server are not validated at installation time. Instead, they are validated when you attempt to invoke one or more “USD” processes from CA Harvest SCM or synchronize the CA SDM and CA Harvest SCM databases.
Default: None Limits: 255 characters
Important! The product automatically stores the USD CA Harvest SCM agent user name and password (if specified) in the \CA_SCM_HOME\husdra.dfo file and encrypts this file, using the svrenc utility. To update the USD CA Harvest SCM Agent user name, password, or both, you must use the svrenc utility. For more
information about using this utility, see the Command Line Reference Guide.
CA Harvest SCM Agent Password
(Optional) Defines the password of the user specified in the CA Harvest SCM Agent User Name field. Do not enter spaces. If you do not specify a password, an empty password is used.
Default: None Limits: 255 characters CA Harvest SCM Agent Port
Defines the port for running the CA Harvest SCM agent.
Default: None Minimum: 2 Maximum: 9999
Note: The agent does not run on port 1 or 1000.

38 Implementation Guide
Synchronization Interval Between SCM and USD Server
Defines the interval (in minutes) at which CA Harvest SCM synchronizes certain tables in the CA Harvest SCM database with those in the CA SDM database. CA Harvest SCM checks the contents of these tables in the CA SDM database and, if necessary, updates the CA Harvest SCM tables to match the CA SDM tables.
At this synchronization interval, CA Harvest SCM also queries for the status of any outstanding deployment jobs it has scheduled. For those jobs whose status has changed, the HARUSDPLATFORMINFO and HARUSDHISTORY tables are updated.
For more information about these CA Harvest SCM tables and others, contact Technical Support at http://ca.com/support.
Default: 60 Minimum: 15
Important! If you do not set this parameter, no synchronization occurs between CA Harvest SCM and the CA SDM server.
Limits: 6 digits
Note: The synchronization interval between CA Harvest SCM and the CA SDM server is stored in the usdsynchinterval= parameter in the \CA_SCM_HOME\HBroker.arg file.
