Opalis Integration Pack for CA AutoSys Workload Automation > Connecting to CA AutoSys WA

Connecting to CA AutoSys WA
Before you can use the objects in this Integration Pack, you must create a connection to each CA AutoSys WA instance that you want to use, and configure the environment variables for those connections. Then, when you use an object, you select the connection that you want that object to use.
The environment variables in these connections only exist when the objects in this Integration Pack are running.
When to use credentials
The following table describes when to use credentials, and considerations for using them.
 
Use Credentials
Do Not Use Credentials
The objects in this Integration Pack use the credentials that you supply.
The objects in this Integration Pack use the credentials of the Action Server on which the Policy that contains these objects is running.
To use the Use Credentials check box, you must be running Opalis Integration Server on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2.
You cannot use the Use Credentials check box if you are running Opalis Integration Server on Microsoft Windows 2000.
You can uncheck the Use Credentials check box if you are running Opalis Integration Server on either Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, or Microsoft Windows 2000.
When running Policies that include objects from this Integration Pack, the Action Server that runs those Policies must have super-user rights to execute programs on the computer that runs the CA AutoSys WA instance that the Policies connect to.
If you do not use credentials, all objects from this Integration Pack that you use within the same Policy must point to the same CA AutoSys WA instance.
To create connections to CA AutoSys WA:
1.
In the Opalis Integration Server Client, click the Options menu and select CA AutoSys. The Settings dialog appears.
2.
Click Add. The Connection dialog appears.
3.
In the Name field, type a name for the connection.
4.
In the Credentials section of the dialog, check the Use Credentials check box to provide specific credentials that the objects in this Integration Pack need to log in to the CA AutoSys WA instance. See the table above for details. The following fields become active:
User name – the username that you will use to log in to the CA AutoSys WA instance.
Domain – the domain to which the username belongs.
Password – the password associated with the username.
You can only use one set of credentials for each connection that you create.
If you uncheck the Use Credentials check box, the objects in this Integration Pack will use the same credentials as those used by the Action Server that runs the Policy that contains the objects from this Integration Pack to access the CA AutoSys WA instance. See the table above for details.
5.
In the Environment Variables section of the dialog, provide the values for each of the following fields:
AUTOSERV the name of the Autoserv instance.
AUTOROOT – the root folder of the CA AutoSys WA installation.
AUTOSYS – the path to the CA AutoSys WA folder.
AUTOUSER – the path to the Autouser folder.
Path – the path to the bin folder.
6.
Click OK. The Settings dialog appears. The connection that you created appears in the list.
7.
Repeat steps 2 to 6 for each connection that you want to create.
8.
Click Finish.
