Installing the global Connector Pack

It is recommended, but not required, that you install install Bravura Security Fabricprior to installing the Connector Pack . This allows you to choose between an instance-specific or global Connector Pack . You can install Bravura Security Fabric instances after the global Connector Pack has been installed.

The global Connector Pack may be useful if you have multiple instances of the Bravura Security Fabric installed on a server, and you want them all to use the same group of connectors.

Caution

If a server is hosting multiple proxy instances of Bravura Security Fabric , it is recommended that you do not install the global Connector Pack . The multiple instances may use different versions of the Connector Pack . Unexpected results may occur when the proxies try to synch their connectors with the master servers.

The Connector Pack is installed using the setup file distributed with the connector-pack-x64.msi.

To install a global Connector Pack :

  1. Log in to the host Windows server as a member of the Administrators group.

  2. Run setup from the main software installation package.

    The setup program displays the Select an instance to configure page.

    msi-select-instance125

  3. Click Install New.

    The setup program displays the Create an instance page.
