you perform the following tasks:
- Configure the Common Event Infrastructure.
- Configure the Common database.
- Install the administrative console and create a Web server definition.
- Enable administrative security.
- Create a system service to run the server, if your operating system
and the privileges of your user account permit the creation of services.

Tool also lets you perform the following tasks:
- Configure the Common database.
- Install the administrative console.
- Enable administrative security.
- Create a system service to run the server, if your operating system
and the privileges of your user account permit the creation of services.

the creation or augmentation process, or federate it later using the addNode command.
