Installing in non-configuration mode

This topic describes how run the orchestration script in INSTALL_ALL mode.

Before running the orchestration script in configuration mode, you must have already done the following:
  • Installed the Java 6 SDK on the machine.
  • Created an installation source directory and placed the WebLogic, ADF, and Endeca Server installers into it.
  • Unpacked the orchestration script ZIP file (for Windows) or TAR file (for Linux).
  • Edited the script configuration file with the settings that the script will use for your environment. In particular, make sure the INSTALL_MODE parameter has the INSTALL_ALL setting.
Also keep the following requirements in mind:
  • On Windows, the orchestration script must be run with administrator rights.
  • On Linux, the orchestration script must be run as a non-root user. In addition, if the --temp-directory flag is not used, the user must have access to the default OS /tmp directory (otherwise, the install will fail as it tries to delete files from /tmp).
  • If you use the optional --temp-directory flag, make certain that you specify the absolute path of the temporary directory to use. A relative path will cause the script to fail.

Because a WebLogic domain will not be created, the script will not prompt for any user input.

To run the orchestration script in non-configuration mode:

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory that contains the orchestration script.
  2. Run the orchestration script for your operating system, as in this Windows example: 
    run_endecaserver_install.bat config_win.prop --temp-directory c:\temp
    The script first sets the temp directory, then verifies the correct Java version, and finally installs the WebLogic, ADF, and Endeca Server components without any user input. Note that WebLogic Server is not started.

Note that if the orchestration script fails, it prints an error message telling you that the ORACLE_HOME directory specified in the configuration file exists. At this point, you must either delete the directory or provide a new location (in the configuration file) before you can re-run the script.

The non-configuration mode installation does not perform the tasks of creating a WebLogic domain, generating SSL certificates, and registering the Data Enrichment plugins. If you want to manually perform these tasks, refer to the following links:

Keep in mind that you must create the WebLogic domain for Endeca Server before you can generate SSL certificates and register the Data Enrichment plugins.

After the entire installation is finished, you can verify the installation in one of two ways:
