Installing the Agent for UNIX

This document describes the hotfix installation procedure for the UNIX agent.

Each supported UNIX version is assigned a three-character code. This code appears in all file names of the agent and is described in the Terminology. Throughout this document the specific code will be represented by "???."

Close the agent before you start the update installation.

Requirements

The user ID "UC4" already exists from the former version.
The directories $HOME/temp, $HOME/bin and $HOME/out exist from the previous version.
The directory $HOME/temp has write permission (W) for Group and Other.

Supplied Installation Files

The files of the agent are supplied in compressed form:
ucxj???.tar.gz ... Files of the actual agent,
ucxb???c.tar.gz ... Files for the Call interface.

Each respective TAR file is found in the subdirectory of IMAGE:AGENTS\UNIX that matches the particular UNIX version.

The CallAPI files and CallAPI implementation are described in a separate document.

Procedure

	1.	Transferring the TAR file and setting up the system environment

It is important to save your INI file if you did not rename it during the first-time installation. Otherwise, when the files are unpacked, the ucxjxxx.ini will be overwritten.
Unpack transferred TAR file.
gzip -d ucxj???.tar.gz or gunzip ucxj???.tar.gz
tar xvf ucxj???.tar

(Linux: tar -zxvf ucs???.tar.gz)
Adjust the INI file to the system environment.
Refer to the INI file ucxjxxx.ini which is supplied with the installation. Refer to the Release Notes to find out which adjustments might be required.
