NOTE: If IIS is not installed on the CA SDM server initially, by default the CA SDM install will select and use Tomcat as the default web server. If at a later time IIS 8.0 is installed, run CA SDM Configuration (pdm_configure) and use the IIS web server. Please be aware that no matter which default web server is used, Tomcat will always be used for certain features, like attachments, exporting information and web services.
1. Launch the Server Manager Administrative Tool (START -> ADMISTRATIVE TOOLS) as shown in Figure 1.

NOTE: Be sure to choose CGI under APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT. This option is very important since of this option is not selected, when accessing CA SDM via web browser, the web browser will attempt to open PDMWEB.EXE instead of launching.
