  • 1.  Install CAPKI

    Posted Jul 14, 2020 11:15 PM
    Hi team,

    I am installing the CAPKI and following the following documentation for CDA 12.3 https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ARA/12.3/DOCU/12.3/CDA%20Guides/Default.htm#ServiceManager/CAPKI.htm#link9 

    non-root installation because I don't have root privileges in my organization and I have to do it that way


    when following the installation I get the following error



    is not installed correctly because it returns value is 3

    I have doubts about CASHCOMP

    I'm not sure if this could be the problem because it says in the documentation:

    Enables the setting of the CASHCOMP environment variable for a specific user.

    I don't know where that variable is.

    Could you please guide me, I've been thinking about it for a long time, I have the agent and services manager installed correctly but with the CAPKI I haven't been able to install 

    THANKS!

    Hi,

    I understand, that it is mandatory to set CASHCOMP to give the installer a valid target. I expect the following to work:

    mkdir /home/username/capki_installation
    export CASHCOMP=/home/username/capki_installation

    setup install caller=AE123 veryverbose env=user

    Another idea is to give instdir as parameter to your installation call. It isn't documented but might work.
    It is try and error but you could try this:
    mkdir /home/username/capki_installation
    setup install caller=123 veryverbose env=user  instdir=/home/username/capki_installation

    Sorry. Right now I can't check this on my own.

    Hi Johnny,
    in order to install CAPKI as non-root user you have to use the 
    'instdir' option and point to directory where the user has write permission.
    e.g.
    setup[.exe] install caller=AUTOMIC instdir=/home/user/CA/SharedComponents verbose

    It is important to define the CAPKIHOME environment variable correctly. This variable have to available during the start of the Service Manager
    The correct format /location is (referring to the example above)
    export CAPKIHOME=/home/user/CA/SharedComponents/CAPKI

    I am using it in my install script and it work great
    Regards
    Kay

    Hi,

    thank you for your answer.

    To improve the documentation it is really necessary to mention this parameter. 

    • with root rights, i would expect that the parameter is mentioned with it's default value
    • with user rights only, this parameter is missing as no successful installation without it seems to be possible
    May be this can be added at least for a future version of AWA?

    Except for very rare instances, nobody from Broadcom is tracking such requests here, they do not seem to be proactively picking up on enhancement requests much.

    Your best bet therefore is to file this as an "idea", which is what Broadcom calls all product (and documentation) enhancement requests. You can do this here:
