Installing Utilities (UNIX)

This document describes the hotfix installation procedure for the utilities.

Because all AE Operations Manager utilities are programmed in Java, Sun Java 2 JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is a prerequisite for utility installation.

A three-figure code is supplied for each supported UNIX platform because the utilities for UNIX are available for different platforms. The codes are described in the Terminology. In this document, thespecific code is replaced using the characters "???."

Requirements

Valid user ID for installation (AE)

Supplied Files

The utility files are supplied in compressed form (util???.tar.gz) and are stored in subdirectories of IMAGE:UTILITIES\UNIX. Subdirectory names represent the supported platforms.

*.sh: normal utility start
Without file ending: programs for batch call

Procedure

	1.	Installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

This installation step can be ignored if the required version of JRE is already installed.

Admin computer
Use the following command to check which version of the Java Virtual Machine (VM) is currently installed:

java -version

If multiple JRE or Java SDK Versions are installed on the computer, make sure that the directories are in the proper order in the settings of %PATH% or $PATH. The Java Runtime Environment that is first in the list of directories is used.

Download the required Java Runtime Environment from http://java.sun.com and install it.

	2.	Transferring the tar File to the Host

Admin computer
Log on using the user ID AE.
Transfer the TAR file util???.tar.gz via FTP.
Be sure to rename your INI files if you did not rename them during the first-time installation. The INI files are overwritten when the TAR file is unpacked.
Unpack the tar file:
gzip -d util???.tar.gz or gunzip util???.tar.gz
tar xvfo util???.tar
Adjust the INI files to your system environment. Compare your INI files to those supplied with the installation and refer to the Release Notes to obtain further information about adjustments that might be required.
