Installing the Capacity Database Web Services


Use the following procedure to install BMC AMI Capacity Database Web Services.

To install Capacity Database Web Services

  1. Perform one of the following actions:
    • If you downloaded the product from the Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) facility, navigate to the folder in which the installation files are saved.
    • If you received a physical product shipment, insert the Capacity Database Web Services installation CD into a CD drive.
  2. In the Capacity Database Web Services folder, double-click the setup.exe file.

    Warning

    Notes

    • The installation program checks for the system requirements described in System-requirements-for-Capacity-Database-Web-Services. If any requirement is not satisfied, the installation program notifies you and stops. Before restarting the installation program, you must satisfy the missing requirements.
    • The installation program also checks for previous versions of the Capacity Database Web Services version 1.5.00. If a previous version is found, the installation program notifies you about the products that you need to uninstall. Before restarting the installation program, you must uninstall those products.  
  3. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  4. Read the license agreement and click Yes.
  5. Review the Readme file and click Next.
  6. On the Choose Destination Location page:

    • To accept the default location, click Next.

    Warning

    Note

    The selected destination location becomes the IIS virtual directory that provides access to Capacity Database Web Services current version.

    The IIS Application Pool and Windows Service Identity page is displayed.

If more than one option is detected for either the IIS Web Site or Port Number, you can select them from the list.

    6. On the IIS Application Pool and Windows Service Identity page, specify the fields and click Next.
      The Start Copying Files page is displayed.

To configure Binding Information for BMC CDB Services

Perform this procedure if the CDB Services Binding Information page is displayed while you are installing Capacity Database Web Services.

Warning

Note

The CDB Services Binding Information page is displayed only when you select the HTTPS protocol on the IIS Advanced Options page and the install cannot resolve the server name with the common name on the SSL certificate.

The install tests the server name obtained via Dns.GetHostName. If the test fails, the install uses the array of domain suffixes in the SearchList registry entry:  

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\SearchList

The install appends a domain suffix to the server name and runs the test. If a test is successful, the install continues. If none of the tests are successful, the CDB Services Binding Information page is displayed.

  1. In the CDB Server field, enter the SSL certificate’s common name in the form of a fully qualified domain name.

  2. Click Test CDB Connection to verify the connection. Then click OK.
Warning

Note

If prompted, you must restart your computer before accessing Capacity Database Web Services.
