      titleAbout setting property values

      Setting the property values is an important step in the installation process. Before you complete steps 2 & 3, review Working with Properties Files .

  2. Open the <installer_directory> / install.properties file, modify the values for your environment and save the file. For the latest details about configuring the properties for your environment, refer to the BDA Properties wiki page.

    Info
    titleOther default values

    You should not need to modify the other default values as we have chosen unique ports to reduce the risk of other applications using the same values. However, be sure to verify that the ports in this file are not being used by other applications.

  4. From the command line, navigate to <installer_directory>/(Example:cd C:\caIntegrator_1_4_1_installercaintegrator-install-1.4.2), and type ant . This initiates the installation process. The anticipated duration is anywhere from 1-15 minutes, depending on your system's speed, power and memory.
    The installer installs the caIntegrator schema in the specified pre-existing database on your MySQL server, and installs, configures, and starts the JBoss server for the caIntegrator application.
  5. To verify caIntegrator installation, open your web browser to the installed instance. The URL follows this format: http://<jboss.server.hostname>:<jboss.server.port>/caintegrator/workspace.action.
    Refer to the <installer_directory>/install.properties file for the correct values. Enter manager as the user and manager as the password.
  6. After successfully installing caIntegrator, make a backup of the <installer_directory>/install.properties file in a different directory for future reference.
