Installing in configuration mode

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

Before running the orchestration script in configuration mode, you must have already done the following:
  • Installed the Java SDK on the machine.
  • Created an installation source directory and placed the WebLogic 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_AND_CONFIGURE setting.
  • Determined the name and password of the WebLogic administrator.
  • Determined the name and password of the Endeca Server administrator.
  • If installing in secure mode, determined the pass phrase for the SSL certificates.

Note that passwords and pass phrases have a minimum of 8 characters, should contain a number, and shouldn't start with a number.

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.

To run the orchestration script in 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 and then verifies the correct Java version.
  3. Enter the WebLogic Server administrator username. The default is "weblogic".
  4. Enter the WebLogic Server administrator password and then re-enter it to verify it. There is no default password.
  5. Enter the Endeca Server administrator username. The default is "ESAdmin".
  6. Enter the Endeca Server administrator password and then re-enter it to verify it. There is no default password.
  7. If installing in secure mode, enter the SSL pass phrase, and then re-enter it to verify it. There is no default pass phrase.

The installer files are extracted to the temp directory, the individual components are installed, and the domain is created. If SSL certificates are generated, WebLogic Server will be automatically restarted.

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.

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