Installing Local Delete as a Service

Oracle recommends installing Local Delete as a service. lynxLocalDelete.bat supports the installation and uninstallation of the Local Delete service using the -i and -u options, respectively.

Refer to the Linux installation instructions in the Oracle DIVArchive Installation and Configuration Guide in the Oracle DIVArchive 7.4 Core Documentation library for Linux-specific directions concerning running DIVArchive components as services under Linux.

Note:

The Local Delete service will be installed using the configuration file found in the %DIVA_HOME%\conf\lynxlocaldelete\ folder in Windows, or in the /home/diva/DIVA/conf/lynxlocaldelete/ directory in Linux.

If you use a configuration file other than the default, specify the file with the -conf or -f options.

Running Local Delete on Demand

Local Delete can be run on-demand by executing a script. You must substitute Windows paths with Linux paths when operating on Linux. For example, the Windows path C:\DIVA\Program will be /home/diva/DIVA/Program when running under Linux.

Linux commands, paths and file names are case-sensitive.

The command line console must remain open while Local Delete is running. Closing the window will stop Local Delete.

1. Open a Windows command prompt or Linux terminal.

2. Change to the following folder:

   cd %DIVA_HOME%\Program\Utilities\bin (in Windows)

   cd /home/diva/DIVA/Program/Utilities/bin (in Linux)
