Preparing for Installation

> Architecture

Determine your requirements

– Sizing

Number of Instances

Number of Jobs

Number of Users/concurrent users

– High Availability

– Disaster Recovery and Backup

– Environments to maintain (Dev, Test, Production, etc.)

– SLAs

Visualize - Document and Diagram


Installation

> System and OS Requirements

Download the product READMEs

Patches, libraries

> Networking

Can the machines communicate?

– Multiple NIC Cards

– DNS

Subnets


Typical Configurations

> Small

> Mid-sized

> Large


Typical Configurations – Small Enterprise

> Small

One AutoSys instance

– Under 10K jobs

One WCC

One EEM

Small number of users/concurrent users

> For HA, duplicate the configuration and add a tiebreaker

machine

> No Reporting unless there is a tiebreaker machine


Small Enterprise


Small Enterprise – HA


Typical Configurations–Mid-sized Enterprise

> Mid-range

One AutoSys instance, separate Scheduler/Database

– 10K to 30K jobs

WCC – Core and Spectator

One EEM instance

Up to hundreds of users/100 or fewer concurrent users

> Can be multiple installations for Dev/Test/Production

> Dedicated Reporting server with Data Warehouse

> HA: Includes Primary/Secondary AutoSys and EEM

Installation


SSA

CCS/Event Management

EEM


Installation


SSA

– Communication component

– Must be on both AutoSys and WCC machines

– PMUX (Port Multiplexing) and SSL settings must be the

same throughout the enterprise

– Update to 2.0.40 (available with AutoSys r11 SP3)


Installation and Configuration


EEM

– Security component

– Recommendation is a dedicated server for EEM

– Shared instance between AutoSys, WCC, JAWS

– Verify installation – up and running?

– User Repository

– Update to EEM 8.4 SR01+ to remove Ingres

Delivered as part of AutoSys SP 2 inc. 2


Installation and Configuration


CCS (CA Common Services)

– CCI is required for WCC through WCC r11.1 SP1

– Required for AutoSys for communication with mainframe,

UUJMA or Event Management

EEM (Embedded Entitlements Manager)

– Required for WCC

Event Management

– Windows: Requires MS SQL Server to be available

– Help requires a web server

– Postgres database is used on *NIX

Installing Reporting

> Install the Data Warehouse database

Sybase, Oracle, MS SQL Server

> Install BusinessObjects

Dedicated server is recommended

> Install the Data Warehouse

> Install the BIAR (standard reports) file into

BusinessObjects

Initial Configuration - WCC

> Create CCI Links

> Create Servers

AutoSys, CA 7, Event, SAP, JAWS

> Create Job Status Views

> Create Job Flows


Performance Tuning - WCC

> Follow recommendations in the performance tuning

document

Max threads/max memory

Minimize logging

Modify feature parameters

Move to current maintenance

Etc.


Configuration - EEM

> Decide what user store will be used, external or internal

Configuring external directory

> Adding users

internal store only

> Adding groups

> Defining policies


Tuning - EEM

> Use most restrictive base DN as possible to reduce

number of queries

> Use group filters when possible

> Use User filters when possible
