Installing BEA Tuxedo on UNIX Systems Using Console-Mode Installation

The following sections describe how to install BEA Tuxedo using console-mode installation:

 


What Is Console-Mode Installation?

Console-mode installation is the text-based method of executing the BEA Installation program. It can be run only on UNIX systems and is intended for UNIX systems with non-graphics consoles. Console-mode installation offers the same capabilities as graphics-based installation except that no customizing of install sets is possible with console-mode installation.

 


Before You Start

If you are upgrading from BEA WebLogic Enterprise or BEA Tuxedo 8.0 or earlier software, see Upgrading the BEA Tuxedo System to Release 8.1 and follow the instructions given there. Then return here to continue your BEA Tuxedo installation.

 


Starting Console-Mode Installation

To start the console-mode installation process, follow these steps:

  1. Select a UNIX system that meets the hardware and software requirements described in BEA Tuxedo 8.1 Platform Data Sheets.

  2. Log in to the UNIX system as the BEA Tuxedo administrator.

  3. Ensure that you have enough free space for the BEA Tuxedo installation.

    For disk space requirements, see BEA Tuxedo 8.1 Platform Data Sheets. For important disk space allocation information, see File and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation.

  4. If installing BEA Tuxedo by downloading from the BEA Web site:

    1. Go to http://commerce.bea.com/downloads/tuxedo.jsp#tuxedo and download the BEA Tuxedo 8.1 installation file specific to your platform, including the 30-day evaluation license file needed to complete the BEA Tuxedo installation.

    2. Go to the directory where you downloaded the installer and invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

      prompt> sh filename.bin -i console

      where filename is the name of the BEA Tuxedo installer file.

  5. If installing BEA Tuxedo from the product software CD:

    1. Mount the CD-ROM as a filesystem and insert the BEA Tuxedo CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

    2. Go to the top-level directory of the mounted CD-ROM.

    3. Invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

      prompt> sh filename.bin -i console

      where filename is the name of the BEA Tuxedo installer file specific to your platform.

  6. Proceed to Running Console-Mode Installation.

 


Running Console-Mode Installation

To complete the console-mode installation process, which is currently available in English and Japanese, respond to the prompts in each section by entering the number associated with your choice or by pressing Enter to accept the default. To exit the installation process, enter quit in response to any prompt. To review or change your selection, enter back at the prompt.

In This Section . . .

Perform the Following Action . . .

Choose Locale

Choose a language by entering the number associated with that language. Your choice determines both the language displayed during the installation and the language-specific message catalog installed during the installation.

====================================================
Choose Locale...
    ->1- English
       2- Japanese
CHOOSE LOCALE BY NUMBER:
====================================================

For example, if you want Japanese, enter 2 at the CHOOSE LOCALE BY NUMBER prompt. The default is English.

Introduction

Press Enter to continue with the installation process.

License Agreement

Read the BEA Software License Agreement and indicate your acceptance or rejection of the terms of the agreement by entering Y or N, respectively, at the prompt. To review the entire agreement, you must press Enter several times. To proceed with the installation, you must enter Y to indicate your agreement with the terms of the license. If you enter N, the following warning appears:

Warning:
If you do not accept the licensing terms you will not be
allowed to continue with the install.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE? (Y/N):

If you enter N, the installation process terminates.

Choose Install Set

Select the install set that you want installed on your system. The following choices appear:

====================================================
Choose Install Set
------------------
Please Choose the Install Set to be installed by this installer.
    ->1- Full Install
       2- Server Install
       3- Full Client Install
       4- Jolt Client Install
       5- ATMI (/WS) Client Install
       6- CORBA Client Install
ENTER THE NUMBER FOR THE INSTALL SET, OR <ENTER> TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT:
====================================================

For a list of software component for each install set, see Install Sets.

On a Windows 98 or XP system, enter 3, 4, 5, or 6. A Windows 98 or XP system cannot be used as a BEA Tuxedo server machine.

Your selection includes the appropriate encryption software for Link-Level Encryption (LLE) and/or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Choose BEA Home Directory

Specify the BEA Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all BEA products installed on the target system. If you already have a BEA Home directory on your system, you can select that directory (recommended) or create a new BEA Home directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the BEA Tuxedo installer program will automatically create the directory for you. For details about the BEA Home directory, see BEA Home Directory.

Enter 1 to create a new BEA Home directory or, if you already have a BEA Home directory on your system, enter 2 to select an existing BEA Home directory. Be sure to use the full pathname when specifying a new BEA Home directory.

For example:

====================================================
Choose BEA Home Directory
-------------------------
      1- Create a New BEA Home
      2- Use Existing BEA Home
Enter a number: 2
      1- /home3/bea
      2- /home2/beahome
Existing BEA Home: 1
====================================================

In this example, we enter 2 to display the BEA Home directories that have already been created on this system. At the Existing BEA Home prompt, we enter 1 to specify /home3/bea as the BEA Home directory for this installation. Make sure that you enter the number associated with the BEA Home directory instead of the directory name.

Choose Product Directory

Specify the directory in which you want to install the BEA Tuxedo software. You may select the default product directory (tuxedo8.1) or create a new product directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the BEA Tuxedo installer will automatically create the directory for you.

The initial default installs the product directory under the BEA Home directory you specified in the previous section. To accept this default, enter 2 at the prompt.

The choices displayed in this section are as follows:

===================================================
Choose Product Directory
------------------------
      1- Modify Current Selection (/home3/bea/tuxedo8.1)
      2- Use Current Selection (/home3/bea/tuxedo8.1)
Enter a number:
===================================================

Specify Product Installation Directory:

Specify a product directory using its full pathname. For example:

/home3/mytux8.1.

When you press Enter, your modified selection appears as the default.

      1- Modify Current Selection (/home3/mytux8.1)
      2- Use Current Selection (/home3/mytux8.1)
Enter a number:

If you enter 2 at the initial prompt, you accept the default product directory (/home3/bea/tuxedo8.1 in this example).

Installing . . .

No user input is required here. The installation program is installing BEA Tuxedo in the user-specified product directory.

It is normal for the installation progress bar to stop for a fairly long time, especially at the end. The BEA Tuxedo installer is still working when this occurs.

Create Tlisten Password

Enter a tlisten password of your choice. Your password must be a string of alphanumeric characters in clear-text format that is no more than 80 characters in length. You use this password to log in to the BEA Tuxedo Administration Console.

BEA Tuxedo uses the tlisten password to protect the local machine from administrative requests and operations that are not authorized. Whenever administrative communications arrive on the local machine through tlisten(1) or wlisten(1) gateway processes, BEA Tuxedo authenticates them by means of the tlisten password.

Enter Your LDAP Settings for SSL Support

This section appears only if you have installed CORBA server and/or client software components. BEA Tuxedo provides a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) based certificate retrieval mechanism that supports certificate-based authentication when using SSL. The BEA Tuxedo certificate retrieval mechanism has been certified for use with the LDAP Directory server included with Netscape Enterprise Server.

===================================================
Enter Your LDAP Settings for CORBA SSL Support
------------------------
       1- Enter LDAP Configuration Information
       2- Do Not Enter LDAP Configuration Information
Enter a number:
===================================================

Choose whether or not you want to enter LDAP configuration information. If you intend to use SSL encryption in your application, enter 1 and then enter the following LDAP configuration information:

For example:

===================================================
Enter Your LDAP Settings for CORBA SSL Support
------------------------
       1- Enter LDAP Configuration Information
       2- Do Not Enter LDAP Configuration Information
Enter a number: 1
LDAP Service Name: pcwiz.beasys.com
LDAP PortID: 389
LDAP BaseObject: o=beasys.com
LDAP Filter File Location: /home3/bea/tuxedo8.1/
   udataobj/security/bea_ldap_filter.dat
===================================================

To not enter LDAP information, enter 2 to proceed to the next section.

License Selection Option

Choose whether or not you want to install the BEA Tuxedo product license now. To install the license now, read the following important information, enter 1, and then specify the location of the license file on your machine.

The actual wording in the License Selection Option section differs between a Tuxedo server installation (Full Install, Server Install) and a client only installation. The following example applies to a Tuxedo server installation:

===================================================
License Selection Option
------------------------
       1- Copy License File Now
       2- Copy License File Later
Enter a number: 1
Specify a Path to your License File: /home3/lic.txt
===================================================

To install the license later, select 2 to proceed to the next section. For instructions on installing the product license manually, see Installing the Product License After You Install BEA Tuxedo.

Install Complete

Press Enter to exit the installation program.


 

Congratulations! Your installation of the BEA Tuxedo software is complete!
