Follow these steps:
1. Start the Control Panel (Administrative Tools, Services).
2. Check the Services list to confirm that the CA Harvest SCM Agent Service is listed.
Confirm that the Status setting is Started and the Startup setting is Automatic.
3. Close the Settings window and the Control Panel.

Important! Installing these CA Harvest SCM components is one step in the overall implementation process. To understand all of the steps you must complete for a successful implementation, see How to Implement the Product (see page 16).
Note: The instances of Linux in this section refer to both the Linux and zLinux operating environments.
This section contains the following topics:
How to Prepare for the Server Installation (see page 79) Install the Server (Typical Installation) (see page 93) Install the Server (Custom Installation) (see page 94)
How to Configure the Server After Installation (see page 109)

How to Prepare for the Server Installation
Important! On UNIX and Linux, if you install the product server, the product client (command-line utilities) and product agent are also installed automatically, whether the database is local or remote.
Note: CAcrypto installation is not required for a new Release 12.5 install. CAcrypto installation is used only when upgrading from an existing Release 7.1 installation and to convert the Release 7.1 .dfo file to Release 12.5 format.
Follow these steps:
1. If you have not already done so, read the Release Notes and Readme (if one is provided). Do not install the server until you have read that information and understand it.
Note: You can find the Release Notes at http://ca.com/support.
2. Verify that you own the files and directories.

3. Decide whether to perform a typical installation or a custom installation.
■ Select the typical option to do the following:
– Install the product using predefined settings without providing any additional input.
– Install the server, the command-line utilities, and product documentation.
– Install these common, shared CA components: Enterprise Communicator (PEC), CA ODBC, eTPKI, and CA Licensing.
– Automatically use internal authentication for product users.
■ Select the custom option to:
– Configure settings in each step of the installation process.
– Use Oracle for your product database.
– Decide which components to install, including the server, command-line utilities, and product documentation.
– Install these common, shared CA components: Enterprise Communicator (PEC), CA ODBC, eTPKI, and CA Licensing
– Install CA Software Delivery.
– Enable Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) mode for the product agent.
– Specify a firewall port range.
– Decide whether to use internal or OpenLDAP authentication for product users.
4. Verify that you know the installation directory paths for your DBMS, CAI/PT ODBC, and Enterprise Communicator (PEC) if they are not already set in your environment.
5. Verify that you know the CA Harvest SCM database user. You must specify a user to have the required access rights to the product tables. If your database is Oracle, then the product table owner is the product database user. You can assign this user any valid user name for the version of Oracle you are using.
6. Verify that you know the DBMS system account, because you are prompted for the password to the Oracle system account. The DBMS system account is used to log into the DBMS during installation.
7. If you plan to use Oracle as your product database, consider the following information:
■ You must install Oracle before using any product component, including the Database Configuration Utility. You must run this utility to set up your product database on Oracle before you can use the product to create users or to check in and check out files. We recommend that you install Oracle before installing the product, so that you can configure your product database immediately after installing the product server.

■ If you use Oracle and Tomcat, do not use the same port number for the Tomcat and Oracle database servers. By default, the Tomcat server uses port 8080, and if the Oracle database also uses the same port, then an error will result.
■ Do not use configdsn to set up your CA Harvest SCM database. You must use the Database Configuration Utility instead.
8. If you plan to use a remote Oracle database, consider the following information:
■ Verify that the Oracle client networking utilities are installed.
■ Verify that you understand how a product server using a remote Oracle database connects to a product database using Oracle client TCP/IP utilities.
■ Verify that a version of Oracle supported by the product is installed on the remote computer.
Note: For information, see your Oracle documentation and the Release Notes.
9. Install CA Licensing (Lic98) software on the product server computer.
10. Install the Public Key Infrastructure (eTPKI) to help ensure the security of users, data, and applications in your enterprise.
11. Create the SCM user and the default installation directories.
Install CAI/PT ODBC, the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver. CAI/PT ODBC is required for product database communication.
12. Install Enterprise Communicator (PEC), a communications toolkit required for the product client/server communication.
13. Determine whether to install CA Software Delivery.
14. Select an authentication method, either internal authentication (CA Harvest SCM) or OpenLDAP.
15. Extract the installation files.
