4.3 Create the Installation, Download, and Metadata Repository Directories
To install OFS MMG, create the following directories:
- OFS MMG Download Directory (Optional): This is the directory where the downloaded installer or patches can be copied. Create a download directory and copy the OFS MMG Application Pack Installer File (archive). Assign 755 permission to this directory.
- Temporary Directory: Default temporary directory where
the installation files are stored for a short time to support faster
installation. Configure adequate space on the /tmp directory. It is recommended
that you allocate more than 10 GB of space. Assign 755 permission to this
directory with NOEXEC Option disabled.
Note:
If NOEXEC Option is enabled, the extraction of files by the installer into the /tmp directory is prevented and the binaries will not execute in the directory, which will fail the installation. - OFS MMG Installation Directory (Mandatory): Create an installation directory where the product binaries are installed. Assign 755-user permission to the Installation Directory.
- OFS MMG Staging/Metadata Directory (Mandatory): A
directory to hold the application metadata artifacts and additionally, act as
the staging area for the flat files. This directory is also referred to as
"FTPSHARE". Create a Staging/Metadata Repository Directory to copy data files,
save data extracts, and so on.
The directory must exist on the same system as the OFS MMG Installation. This directory can be configured on a different mount or under a different user profile.
Note:
Ensure the OFS MMG Staging Directory is not set to the same path as the OFS MMG Installation Directory and is not a sub-directory inside the OFS MMG Installation Directory.
