Installing the Siebel Analytics Server

---

This section explains how to install the Siebel Analytics Server software on UNIX. For instructions to install other Siebel Analytics components on Windows, refer to Installing Siebel Analytics Software in the Windows Environment.

In UNIX the default installation directory is /usr/local/SiebelAnalytics. The following steps refer to this location as $INSTALLDIR. (You may need to contact your administrator to create this directory and give you write permission.)

NOTE:  The user ID used with the Analytics Web component must have the same permissions as the user ID used by the Web server. Using the same login for both is recommended.

Running the Installer

The following procedure explains how to install the Siebel Analytics software on UNIX.

To install the Siebel Analytics Server software on UNIX

1. Log in as the user that runs the Analytics processes, insert the Siebel Analytics Server installation CD-ROM, and change to the directory where the installation CD-ROM is mounted.
2. Run one of the following installers.
   • For Analytics applications, run:

   sainstall-apps

   • For Stand-Alone Analytics, run:

   sainstall

   The installation script has various prompts and default answers to prompts. The prompts and their defaults and meanings (for all options) are shown in the table.

   Prompt	Default	Notes
   Language for error messages	1. (English-US)	The last option (19. Abort) exits the program.
   Setup type	5. (Everything)	The setup type chosen determines which subsequent prompts appear.
   Default Siebel Analytics root directory	/usr/local/SiebelAnalytics
   Siebel Analytics Server listener port number	9703
   Cache Location	/usr/local/SiebelAnalytics/Data/Cache
   Turn on cache	Y	If you choose n (No), the program skips directly to the Extracting components step.
   Size of the Cache	500 MB for Analytics applications 100 MB for Stand-Alone Analytics
   Machine running PopChart Server	localhost
   Port for PopChart Server	81	The steps requesting the PopChart Server machine name refer to Installing and Configuring Corda PopChart Image Server.
   Siebel Analytics Server name	local	Local is the same as localhost.

   NOTE:  The value for Port must be the TCP/IP port the Siebel Analytics Server is using for client/server communications. For more information, see RPC_SERVICE_OR_PORT.

3. From the setup directory $INSTALLDIR/setup, run one of the following scripts:
   • If you are using sh or bash, run

   . sa.sh

   • If you are using csh, run

   source sa.csh

4. Verify your data sources in $INSTALLDIR/setup/userodbc.reg.

   For example:

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\AnalyticsWeb]

   "Driver"="/usr/local/SiebelAnalytics/Bin/libnqsodbc.so"

   "Description"="Siebel Analytics Server"

   "ServerMachine"="LOCAL"

   "Catalog"=""

   "UID"=""

   "PWD"=""

   "Repository"=""

   "Port"="9703"

5. To update the registry and verify this grammatically, run the following command:

   regedit -c -s $INSTALLDIR/setup/userodbc.reg

   All of the registry files (.reg extension) can be manually imported into the registry using the regedit command. These are examples:

   • To display the Registry Editor console, type regedit.
   • To update the registry in silent mode, type regedit -c -s nnn.reg where nnn is the name of the registry.

     NOTE:  Manual changes to the registry may be overwritten by scripts. You should make all changes in the registry files, and then use the console to verify the changes.

6. Put your database-related setup script in $INSTALLDIR/setup/user.sh or $INSTALLDIR/setup/user.csh, as appropriate.

   You must verify the validity of the database setup script, because it is called from the Siebel Analytics startup script.

   • Sample 1 (excerpts):

   setenv ORACLE_HOME /export/home/oracle/8.1.7
   setenv ORACLE_SID orcl
   setenv TNS_ADMIN ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin
   setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/opt/bin:${PATH}
   setenv LIBPATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:${LIBPATH}:/opt/j2se/jre/lib/rs6000
   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/j2se/jre/lib/sparc
   setenv DB2DIR /usr/lpp/db2_07_01
   setenv DB2INSTANCE qauser7a
   setenv INSTHOME /home/qa-sm/qauser7a
   setenv SQLLIB /home/qa-sm/qauser7a/sqllib
   if ( -f $SQLLIB/db2cshrc ) source $SQLLIB/db2cshrc
   setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/java_dev2
   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $DB2DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

   • Sample 2 (excerpts):

   #! /usr/bin/csh
   setenv ORACLE_HOME /opt/oracle/8.1.6c
   setenv ORACLE_SID orcl
   setenv TNS_ADMIN ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin
   setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/opt/bin:${PATH}
   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/j2se/jre/lib/sparc

7. Run sa-init.sh or sa-init.csh to configure (for a new installation) or to reconfigure the registry entries with your changes to the registry files, such as userodbc.reg.
