Corelation Connector installation

What is it?​

The Corelation Connector is distributed as a single archive containing a set of command-line programs. There is no installer: extract the archive to the directory where the programs will run, then configure each program you intend to use.

Complete this step before any of the configuration described on the program pages.

Install the programs​

To install the Corelation Connector, complete the following steps:

  1. Obtain the SMACorelationConnector.zip archive.
  2. Extract the archive to the directory where the programs will run, on a Windows machine that can reach the Corelation KeyStone system.
  3. Confirm that the extracted directory contains the programs listed below.

What the archive contains​

ItemPurpose
SMARunCorelationJob.exeStarts and monitors a KeyStone batch job. See SMARunCorelationJob.
SMAExecuteKeystoneCommand.exeRuns KeyStone administrative commands over SSH. See SMAExecuteKeystoneCommand.
SMASumItems.exeSums numeric fields in an XML file and stores the total as an OpCon property. See SMASumItems.
SMACreateCorelationPasswordFile.exeCreates an encrypted password file for use in configuration files. See SMACreateCorelationPasswordFile.
SMATechnicalServicesUtilities.dllShared library used by the programs. Keep it alongside them.

Each program reads its own configuration file from the directory it runs in, named after the program with an .ini extension. The program pages describe the settings each one accepts.

FAQs​

Do I need to install every program?

No. The programs are independent and share only the support library. Install the archive once and configure only the programs you intend to use.

Where do the configuration files go?

In the same directory as the program, unless that program's page documents a way to point elsewhere.

Does the archive contain anything else?

The archive may contain additional programs used by Continuous for support and diagnosis. Those are not intended for customer use and are not documented here.
