Reference: |
The installation procedure name is called ISETUP. For performance reasons, you should not install to an FSD or NFS-mounted disk.
To install:
SET PROTECTION=(S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RE,W:RE)/DEFAULT
SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN
CREATE [.XXX] /DIRECTORY
RUN CD:[IWAY]ISETUP
RUN [.download]ISETUP
You are prompted for the type of installation you are performing.
You are prompted for your license key.
Your license attributes are displayed, and the license key is confirmed.
You are then prompted for the location of the installation file iserver.bck.
For example, from CD:
CD:[IWAY]iserver.bck
For example, from disk:
[.download]iserver.bck
You are prompted for the password of the server administrator (iadmin) ID.
The password does not display, and is stored in encrypted form.
You are prompted to review the default values of the remaining installation parameters.
Installing the demo files. By default, the Century Corp demo files are not installed. If you wish to install them, do not enter Y, but instead continue to Step 11, where you will have the option of installing them in one or more languages. (Note that all other demo files are installed automatically, in English, as part of the standard installation.)
For information about these parameter values, see Server Installation Parameters. Note that the default root location is the iadmin ID home directory.
If any of the prompted locations (such as EDAHOME) exist, they will be marked with "(*EXISTS*)" on the display line. This gives you the opportunity to change a location if you do not want to overwrite it by changing the default values.
When specifying a location, note these requirements:
EDACONF must be in the same srv77 path as EDAHOME. The lowest-level EDAHOME directory (home) becomes the product type directory in EDACONF.
For example, if EDAHOME is
[iadmin.ibi.srv77.home]
then EDACONF for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server defaults to:
[iadmin.ibi.srv77.wfs]
If you are configuring an additional instance, be sure to specify a new configuration directory here; do not use an existing directory. Each instance must have its own configuration directory. You can append characters to the name of the product_type directory to avoid overwriting the existing directory. For example:
[iadmin.ibi.srv77.wfs2]
Note that National Language Support (NLS) is set to OFF by default. You can configure it using the Web Console after installation.
Alternatively, to start over, enter N. To quit the installation procedure, enter Q.
Several progress messages display while the server is being installed. You are then asked if you want to start the server.
If you start the software, startup messages and the Web Console URL are now displayed.
You should now verify your installation, as described in Step 5. Verifying the Installation.
The server installation procedure parameters are described in the following table.
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
EDAHOME |
Directory location for files. Any changes in the EDAHOME location must follow the pattern *ibi.srv77*.home* in its declaration. Note: Do not use dollar signs ($) in device or path names if Active Technologies has been licensed. |
EDACONF |
Location for the default configuration. The default value is based on the license key and any change in the EDAHOME directory pattern. The default will be a sibling directory to the EDAHOME directory in terms of its location, and will have a name, such as ffs, wfm, dm, or wfs (based on the key and on any change in the EDAHOME pattern). When EDASTART is used to control the server, if the full path name of the EDACONF directory exceeds 31 characters, the directory is automatically aliased as EDASHARE=EDAn where n is the starting TCP port number of the server. When aliasing occurs, a message similar to the following appears: Warning: WSM id 'DISK$SOFTWARE:[IWAY.IBI.SRV77.FFS] has been aliased to EDASHARE=EDA8100 due to length. |
EDAPRFU |
Location of user and group profiles and of admin.cfg, which specifies the server administrator. |
APPROOT |
Location for default applications and sample applications. |
HTTP_BASE_PORT |
First of three consecutive port numbers that the server uses for the HTTP Listener and other IP-based services. If you are configuring multiple instances, be sure to specify a different range of ports for each server instance. The default port automatically varies by product to support multiple servers on a particular computer:
|
TCP_BASE_PORT |
Port number on which the server TCP Listener listens. It must be outside the range of the three consecutive HTTP Listener ports. It defaults to the port immediately preceding the first HTTP Listener port. For example, if you accept the default HTTP Listener Port value of 8101, the TCP Listener port defaults to 8100. If you are configuring multiple server instances, be sure to specify a different port for each instance. |
SMTP_HOST |
SMTP Server node (host) name or TCP/IP number for outbound e-mail features. (Optional, only prompted for if changing directories and ports.) |
SMTP_PORT |
SMTP Server port number for SMTP Server. The default value is 25. (Optional, only prompted for if changing directories and ports, and the SMTP Server host is supplied.) |
SENDER_EMAIL |
Default from address for users reading an email from the server if none was specified in the originating application. (Optional, only prompted for if changing directories and ports, and the SMTP Server host is supplied.) |
SERVER_ADMIN_EMAIL |
Server administrator email address to send administrative warnings to, such as an agent crash. (Optional, only prompted for if changing directories and ports, and the SMTP Server host is supplied.) |
The following session is an example of a Full-Function Server installation from CD in which the user has accepted the default values. The session begins with a RUN command issued from the OpenVMS command prompt.

Would you like to start the Server Workspace (Y/N Default=Y)? : n
If you have additional licenses and need to configure an additional instance, log on with the iadmin ID and run EDAHOME [.BIN]ISETUP.EXE, where EDAHOME is the directory on which the software was installed ([.IBI.SRV77.HOME] by default). At the main menu, select option 2, Add Additional Configuration Instance.
The prompts for adding a configuration are similar to those for an installation, but EDAHOME is the directory where the software was originally installed. Typically, you would not want to accept the defaults, as doing so will cause your current configuration to be overwritten. If the supplied EDACONF already exists, the installation will copy it to a directory called BACKUP.
Sometimes it is desirable to refresh the software installation directory (EDAHOME) because it has become accidentally damaged or needs updating with a service pack. To do this, run the ISETUP program on the CD from which the software was originally installed, as described in Step 4. Running the Setup Procedure, or from a service pack CD. At the main menu, select option 3, Refresh Installation (Reinstall, Keep Configuration). This refreshes programming files under the software installation directory (EDAHOME) and does not affect any configuration directories. The complete directory tree (EDAHOME) is removed and re-created. If any files need to be retained, they should be copied elsewhere beforehand.
When you have finished accessing the CD, dismount it with the following command
DISMOUNT device_name:
where:
Is the device name used in the original mount command.
Normally the CD will not be needed again unless a support situation requires debuggable versions of the software to be installed. A set of debuggables matching the original software is on the CD for this purpose. You will also need the CD if you refresh the installation.
How to: |
This is also known as a silent install. The most common form is an initial install, which also results in an initial configuration. An initial installation and configuration should only be done once per EDAHOME and an add product configuration used thereafter.
Installing silently can be helpful if you want to install multiple servers at once throughout an enterprise. To install a server silently, you must first create a text file that specifies your server installation parameters and then call isetup with the option and the file name. The silent method may also be used to do a software refresh
We recommend that the first time you install, you use the default interactive mode, not the silent mode, so that you become familiar with the procedure. Installing a server interactively is described in Step 4. Running the Setup Procedure.
Run isetup -? to see full information on the setup and specific use of a parameters file for silent installation, configuration, or refresh.
Use a text editor to create a file with the following syntax to specify your product installation parameters:
-inst -license nnn-nnn-nnnn-nn -edahome /ibi/srv77/home -edaconf /ibi/srv77/product_type -port portnum -host hostname -approot drive:\ibi\apps -programfolder "folder-title" -pass password -nostart
where:
Is the 12-digit license. Include a hyphen (-) following the third, sixth, and tenth digits.
Is the drive and directory to which you want to install the software.
Designates the type of product. The default values are:
FFS | for a Full-Function Server |
DM | for a DataMigrator Server |
WFS | for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server |
WFM | for a Shared Application Server for WebFOCUS Maintain |
Is the base TCP port for the server.
Is the server host name.
Is the name you want to assign to the Windows program folder and service. For example:
-programfolder "WebFOCUS 77 Server"
Is the password of the user ID with which you are installing the server.
To see a list of additional installation, configuration, and refresh options:
setup ?
A Help screen with further parameter file options will display.
The user may continue with the install (interactive) or quit at this point to attempt a silent install/configure.
setup -opt /path/srvoptions.txt
where:
Is the full path and file name of the file specifying your installation options.
For example, to specify English and an options file named serveroptsFFS1.txt, type:
setup -opt /temp/serveroptionsFFS1.txt
