Install Oracle database, Agile schema, and start the database.
Install JDK for application server.
Install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure (includes WebLogic Server).
Install Agile PLM 9.3.5 application components.
Before installing Agile PLM, the contents of the media packs should be copied to a local directory with the same file structure used by the Installer. The Platforms directory must be copied into the same directory as the setup file.
Note: Oracle recommends installing the files from a local directory, not over a network. |
Note: Be sure to check the size of the media packs after copying the files to verify that all files have been copied. |
Important: Install and test this release on a designated test server before installing it on your production environment. Your test environment should mirror your production environment as closely as possible to provide accurate testing results. It is important to validate the installation of this release and confirm your integrations are working correctly as part of your minimum due diligence. Any problems or questions noted during your system testing should be resolved before installing this release on your production environment. |
The Agile PLM installer displays in English only, even on non-English operating systems.
Before running the installer, make sure
On UNIX: You are not logged in as the root user. You should be logged in as the same user used to install the application server software.
You have enough available disk space.
Windows: at least 2GB of available disk space
UNIX: at least 2GB of available disk space on the filesystem where the temporary directory is located.
You have disabled virus protection.
If virus protection is enabled, components used in the installer can be falsely identified as being infected and lock up the installation. You can enable virus protection after the installation is complete.
On Linux, the InstallAnywhere installer requires some 32-bit shared libraries that may not be present on your system.
Install the 32-bit packages that provide the following shared libraries, if they are not present:
/usr/lib/libXtst.so - this library is typically found in package libxtst-devel
/usr/lib/libXrender.so - this library is typically found in package libXrender-devel
Note: 32-bit packages for Linux often end in or include one of the following strings: i686, i586, i386. |
Run the Agile PLM application installer. The GUI should display.
If the GUI does not display, run in debug mode and upload the install log file for analysis. If you set LAX_DEBUG=true in the shell, and then start the installer from that shell, you may receive specific information about the missing library that is causing the runtime link error.
To start the Agile PLM installer on Windows:
Log in to the computer using a login with local Administrator permissions.
In the Disk1_Windows directory, double-click the setup_win.exe file.
After a few moments, the Welcome screen appears.
Note: If there is insufficient Temp disk space available to complete the installation, you will be prompted for another location. Click Choose, select another drive, click OK, and the installer will start. |
For information about any screen in the installer, click Help.
To start the Agile PLM installer on UNIX:
Log into the system.
Open a terminal window and set the DISPLAY environment variable to your X Windows server.
Note: The Agile PLM Installer is a graphical application and requires an X server to perform the installation. It is recommended that you display the installer UI on the server's console or use a remote desktop application such as VNC rather than sending the X-Windows display to a remote machine using a 3rd-party display manager. |
Go to the directory where you copied the Agile PLM files. Locate the setup_<OS>.bin file, and run the program by typing the following:
AIX: ./setup_aix.bin
Linux: ./setup_lin.bin
Solaris (SPARC): ./setup_sol.bin
Solaris (X86): ./setup_solx86.bin
HP-UX: ./setup_hpux.bin
After a few moments, the Welcome screen appears.
For information about any screen in the installer, click Help.
Each installation panel has online help. At any time during installation, you can click Help for more information about the panel's options.
Note: If you leave the online help window open, it will be updated when you proceed through the installer panels. Otherwise, click Close at the bottom of the help window. |
Agile PLM installation panels have the following buttons:
Cancel -- Exits from the installation program.
Help -- Displays online help.
Previous -- Returns to the previous step.
Next -- Proceeds to the next step.
Install -- Starts installing. The Install button appears only on the Pre-Installation Summary panel, after you have specified installation options.
Done -- Exits from the installation program. On Windows, after installing certain components you can choose whether to restart the computer when you click Done. The Done button appears only on the Install Complete panel, after you have finished installing.
When installing Agile PLM, you can install in Basic or Advanced mode. Basic mode can be selected if you are installing a standalone system and choose to accept the default settings for virtual paths and authentication accounts. Advanced mode allows you to install a standalone or clustered system and change or accept the defaults for all install settings including those that are defaulted in Basic mode such as:
Agile Application Server Virtual Path (default: Agile)
File Manager User Authentication (default:ifsuser)
File Manager Virtual Path (default: Filemgr)
Update the application URLs (Web Server, Java Client, File Manager) in the database (default:yes)
After you install Agile PLM, the following folders appears in the AGILE_HOME directory.
This list includes the folders for all Agile PLM components, although it is not necessary that you install them all on one computer.
Folder | Description |
---|---|
agileDomain | Agile Application Server |
FileManager | Agile File Manager |
Install | Installation and configuration scripts |
integration | Agile Integration Framework (AIF) products, such as Agile Integration Services (AIS) and Agile SDK |
