The following sections describe how to start the installation program on Windows and UNIX platforms:
Before you install the software, review the following information:
The following sections describe how to start the installation program on a Windows platform:
Note: | If you are installing the software on a Windows system that supports more than one monitor, you must disable all but one monitor before starting the installation program. |
To start the graphical-mode installation process on a Windows platform:
rfid_edge_win32.exe
(BEA installation program for WebLogic RFID Edge Server)
The installation program begins to install the software.
To start the console-mode installation process on a Windows platform:
rfid_edge_win32.exe -mode=console
(BEA Products installation program for WebLogic Server)
Note: | You can also include the -log= full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example: |
Note: | rfid_edge_win32.exe -mode=console -log=C:\logs\server_install.log |
Note: | For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
After a few moments, a BEA Installer window opens and the installation program begins to install the software.
The BEA Products installation program requires a Java run-time environment (JRE) to run. A JRE is bundled in the Windows installation program, and in some Linux installation programs (those with filenames ending in .bin
). For other UNIX platforms, the installation program does not include a JRE. Filenames for these installation programs end in .jar
. To run the .jar
installation programs, you must have an appropriate version of a JDK installed on your system, and include the bin
directory of the JDK at the beginning of your PATH
system variable.
Notes: | It is important that you use a JDK because the installation process assigns values to JAVA_HOME and related variables to point to this directory. All scripts installed by your installation program use this JDK by default, including scripts to start sample applications, the Configuration Wizard, and other development tools. |
Note: | To run graphical-mode installation, your console must support a Java-based GUI. If the installation program determines that your system cannot support a Java-based GUI, it automatically starts running in console mode. See Running the Installation Program in Console Mode. |
The following sections describe how to start the installation program on UNIX platforms using filenames that end in .bin
.
To start the graphical-mode installation process for installation files with names ending in .bin
:
# chmod a+x
filename
.bin
# ./filename
.bin
In these commands, filename
.bin
is the name of the installation program specific to your platform, for example, rfid_edge200_linux32.bin
.
Note: | You can also include the -log= full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example: |
Note: | # rfid_edge200_linux32.bin -log=/home/logs/BEA_install.log |
Note: | See Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
The installation program begins to install the software.
To start the console-mode installation process for installation files with names ending in .bin
:
# chmod a+x
filename
.bin
# ./filename
.bin -mode=console
Here filename
.bin
is the name of the installation program specific to your platform; for example, rfid_edge200_linux32.bin
.
Note: | You can also include the -log= full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example: |
Note: | # rfid_edge200_linux32.bin -mode=console -log=/home/logs/BEA_install.log |
Note: | See Generating a Verbose Installation Log. |
