Before You Install

Before you begin installing ALDSP, confirm that the following prerequisites are met:

Note: By default, WorkSpace Studio (Eclipse 3.2.2) is available for installation with ALDSP 3.2 in the <bea_home>\workSpaceStudio_1.1\workSpaceStudio directory. If you are planning to use an Eclipse version that is not bundled with ALDSP, then you need to manually clean up the Eclipse configuration directory to avoid some known issues in Eclipse 3.2.2. All files except config.ini and files under .settings subdirectory should be deleted.

For additional information about installation prerequisites, see Installation Notes in Preparing to Install ALDSP.

 

Installing Using GUI Mode

This section describes how to install ALDSP using the GUI mode on Microsoft Windows and supported UNIX and Linux-based platforms.

To install ALDSP in GUI mode:

  1. Launch the GUI installer.

    2. On Microsoft Windows-based systems:

    1. Navigate to the folder to which you downloaded the ALDSP installer using Windows Explorer.
    2. Double-click the installer executable file. For example:

      3. aldsp_320_win32.exe

      On UNIX and Linux-based systems:

    3. Verify that the console attached to the machine on which you are installing the software supports a Java-based GUI.
    4. Open a command window, and change (cd) to the directory to which you downloaded the ALDSP installer file.
    5. Start the installer in a new shell by entering the following:

      6. sh filename.bin

      where filename.bin is the name of the ALDSP installation program specific to your platform. For example, enter the following to start the Solaris version of the ALDSP installation program:

      sh aldsp_320_solaris32.bin

      The installer application welcomes you to install ALDSP, as illustrated in Figure 2-2.

  2. Click Next to begin the installation. The License Agreement appears.
  3. Review the License Agreement. Choose Yes to accept, and click Next.

    4. A screen appears enabling you to specify the BEA home directory, as illustrated in Figure 2-3.

    Choose BEA Home Directory

    The BEA Home directory (<bea_home>) serves as the central support directory for all the BEA products installed on your system.

  4. Specify the BEA Home directory, and click Next.

    5. You can also choose to create a new BEA Home directory if this is an initial installation.

    Or you can choose a directory from the list or type the directory name in the BEA Home Directory field. You must install ALDSP in the same home directory where you installed WebLogic Platform 10.0 MP1.

    A screen appears enabling you to choose the type of installation, as illustrated in Figure 2-4.

    Choosing Eclipse Installation Location

    If you want to install a new Eclipse instance, then select the Install Eclipse option. This option installs Eclipse at the following location:

    <bea_home>\tools\eclipse_pkgs\1.1\eclipse_3.2.2\eclipse

    If you already have Eclipse installed on your machine and want to use the same instance of Eclipse to work with ALDSP, then select the Use Existing Eclipse option and enter the location where Eclipse is installed.

  7. Click Next. This screen allows you to specify the directory where you want to install ALDSP. By default, ALDSP is installed in <bea_home>\aldsp_3.2. See Figure 2-7.
