Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.

Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |

Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

The Single Sign-On configuration used during the previous installation (enabled or disabled), must be the same configuration used during the upgrade. The Single Sign-On that is included with Codar can only be used when launching an application, such as Operations Orchestration from the Codar Console. See the Codar Configuration Guide and Single Sign-On documentation for more information on integrating Single Sign-On with the application.
If you do not want to use Single Sign-On, you can disable it.
You MUST disable Single Sign-On if you are installing Codar in a FIPS 140-2 compliant environment if you plan on integrating with CA SiteMinder.
If enabled, enter the domain name of the network to which the server on which you are installing Codar belongs and click Next.

Specify your integration with Operations Orchestration.
If you are integrating with Operations Orchestration 10.5, click Configure connection to a running OO server and click Next to proceed to step 18. The upgrade installer requires additional information to complete the integration.
Operations Orchestration 10.5 must be installed and running in order to complete the upgrade of Codar.
Caution If you are upgrading your existing Embedded Operations Orchestration, before you begin using the Codar Upgrade Installer, make sure the Embedded Operations Orchestration is using the codaruser. If the Embedded Operations Orchestration Upgrade Service starts using the root user, then the installer will not function properly and the Operations Orchestration upgrade will fail.
Note If you have chosen to upgrade the embedded Operations Orchestration from the previous Codar installation, and the upgrade has failed, you will need to delete the CODAR home folder that includes the unfinished installation, then restart the installer and resume the installation.
Note If you have chosen to install a new version of Embedded OO during Codar upgrade, and the upgrade fails, do the following:
-
Stop the Operations Orchestration Central service (Windows)
-
Clear the database schema used for the Operations Orchestration installation;
-
Finally, restart the installer and resume installation.
-
-
Define the Operations Orchestration 10.5 instance with which Codar is to be integrated. Enter the following information and click Next.
Field Name Description Operations Orchestration Hostname The fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the server where Operations Orchestration is located. Specify the hostname that was used to generate the Operations Orchestration's certificate. The hostname is used for TLS validation and to build the URL that the Codar Console uses to interact with Operations Orchestration (for example, in the subscription event overview section of the Operations area in the Codar Console, selecting the Process ID opens Operations Orchestration to the detailed page of the selected process when these properties are configured). Operations Orchestration Port The port number used to communicate with Operations Orchestration, such as 8445. The port number is used to build the URL that the Codar Console uses to interact with Operations Orchestration. By default, Operations Orchestration uses this port and port 8080. Applications running on the system on which Operations Orchestration is installed should not be using these ports. Operations Orchestration User The name of the user who logs in to Operations Orchestration Central. This is the user that was configured for provisioning topology designs. Operations Orchestration Password The password used by the Operations Orchestration user to log in to Operations Orchestration Central. Operations Orchestration Certificate File The file name and location of Operations Orchestration's certificate from Operations Orchestration's truststore on the Codar system. If you have not already done so, export the Operations Orchestration's certificate and copy it to the Codar system (see the section in this guide for more information). Note This information is used to set the Operations Orchestration properties in the
csa.properties
file and import Operations Orchestration's certificate into Codar's truststore. See the Codar Configuration Guide for more information about these properties. -
