Installing the System

Follow these steps to install the Oracle Documaker on a computer running Linux (Intel-based) and Solaris (SPARC64). The following fonts are also included in the media pack you download from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, see Downloading the Software section for more information.

• PCL and PostScript fonts
• AFP fonts
• Xerox fonts

Note:

Re-installation of the run time environment does not overwrite your INI files.

If you install the system into an existing directory, the current library setup (INI files) is retained. If you install the system into a new directory, you must set up all your libraries, just as you would for a new installation.

Before you begin

Make sure you have full directory access permissions (read/write/execute) to the directory into which you will be installing Documaker Server.

Any Documaker processes that load the DB2 driver, such as shared objects, GenData, GenPrint, GenWIP, or GenArc, will issue an error similar to the following upon exiting.

--- GenData Completed --- 
Illegal instruction(coredump) 

This occurs because the DB2 client DSO’s registered exit function is invalid at the time of exit because the DSO was unloaded. This affects the return code from the Documaker process. If you have customizations that check the exit codes of these processes, those customizations will be affected, even though the Documaker processes were successful within their tasks.
