4.3 Create the Installation, Download, and Metadata Repository Directories

To install the application, 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.
  • OFS STSA Download Directory (Optional): You can copy the downloaded installer (OFS STSA Application Pack Installer File (archive)) or patches to this directory. Assign 755 permission to this directory.
  • Temporary Directory: This is the 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 to allocate more than 10 GB of space. Assign 755 permission to this directory and disable the NOEXEC option.

    Note:

    If the 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, hence resulting in failure of the installation.
  • OFS MMG Installation Directory (Mandatory): OFS STSA 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): OFS STSA Staging/Metadata Directory (Mandatory): This is 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 or Metadata Repository Directory to copy data files, save data extracts, and so on.

    Ensure that you create this directory on the same system as the OFS STSA Installation. You can configure this directory on a different mount or under a different user profile.

    Note:

    Ensure that 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.

    Note:

    Ensure that the OFS STSA Staging Directory is not set to the same path as the OFS STSA Installation Directory and is not a sub-directory inside the OFS STSA Installation Directory.
