Owner's Manual
46 Installation
Best practice is to install as the user designated as DBA and admin of the system. If necessary,
create the appropriate user and login as this user for running the install program. The installing
user must have create privileges for the target directory. By default, this directory is
/opt/dorado
.
CAUTION:
Linux sometimes installs a MySQL database with the operating system. Before you install this application,
remove any MySQL if it exists on your Linux machine.
NOTE:
To set the environment correctly for command line functions, after installation, type
oware
(or
. /
etc/.dsienv
in UNIX—[dot][space]/etc/[dot]dsienv) before running the specified command.
Also: This application can run on any Linux desktop environment (CDE, KDE, Gnome, and so on) but the
installer will only install shortcuts for CDE.
System Capacity
System requirements for each element of your system vary depending how you use it. The numbers
in this guide are suggestions only, not definitive recommendations.
You should base the minimum configuration of any system on expected peak load. Typically a
configuration running all elements of the application on a single server spends 95% of its time idle
and 5% of its time trying to keep pace with the resource demands. If you expect your system to
perform an operation that could run create, modify or delete rules on tens or hundreds of
thousands of business objects, your system requirements may be much higher. See System Basics
on page 27 for more specific hardware requirements.
Paths
Paths in this document are often written as Linux represents them, with foreslashes (/) rather than
Windows/DOS backslashes (\). The shell command
oware
makes any shell subsequently emulate
a bash shell. That means either foreslash or backslash can accurately represent path separators as
they may appear, depending on whether the
oware
command has set the environment to bash
emulation. Most shell commands for this application are available in Windows/DOS equivalents
structured to call the emulator, then a bash script. If you have difficulty using a command line
script in Windows/DOS, then try it after you have run
oware
.
NOTE:
Run command line scripts with -? to see their parameters.
CAUTION:
Do not install to paths with spaces in their names.
