Installing OpenEdge Management on UNIX
Be sure to have the serial and control numbers for OpenEdge Management and the SNMP Adapter (if applicable) handy before you begin the installation. These numbers are included in your OpenEdge Management media kit.
To install OpenEdge Management on a UNIX system:
- Stop the AdminServer.
- Log in as root in a terminal window. If you do not know the root password for your system, consult with your system administrator.
- Insert the OpenEdge Management installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Table 4–1 lists the mount commands for each supported platform (where device-name is the device you are using for the installation and mount-point is the mount-point directory). Note: On several platforms, there is an automount daemon that mounts the CD within approximately five seconds. If, however, the automount does not occur on your machine, use the mount command provided in Table 4–1.- Enter your platform-specific mount command.
- Enter the following install command:
Note: You cannot run
proinst
if you are in the mount-point directory. After you enter the install command, the Welcome screen appears:
![]()
- Press ENTER. The OpenEdge Path screen appears:
![]()
- Enter the full path to a supported OpenEdge product, and press ENTER. The Product Configuration Data screen appears:
Note: Remember that each instance of OpenEdge Management is associated with one particular OpenEdge product upon installation. If you later install a different instance of OpenEdge, you can use the
![]()
reglue
command to change the OpenEdge Management-to-OpenEdge product association. See the "Uninstalling OpenEdge Management on UNIX" section for more information.- Enter a company name (which can be any character string), the serial number, and the control numbers for OpenEdge Management. Then press ENTER.
- If applicable, enter the serial number and the control numbers for the SNMP Adapter. Then press ENTER.
- When you are done with this screen, press CTRL+E. The Done Configuration Data Confirmation screen appears:
![]()
- Type Y to continue. The Install Type and Destination screen appears:
The defaults for the Type of install, the Destination pathname for the OpenEdge Management install, and the Working Dir pathname for OpenEdge Management are listed at the bottom of the screen.
![]()
- Type D if you want to change either the destination or work directory paths. The Select Destination Pathname screen appears:
Note: If you are installing multiple instances of OpenEdge Management (to monitor separate OpenEdge products, for example), make sure that each instance of OpenEdge Management has a unique Destination Path and Work Directory Path.- Enter the full pathnames in the fields that require a change. The Destination Path is where OpenEdge Management will be installed. The Work Directory Path is the area where OpenEdge Management puts working files.
On the bottom of the screen you can review the type of installation, the destination pathname, and the working directory.- Press ENTER. The Install Type and Destination screen reappears.
- Select Continue with Installation. The Complete Installation screen appears:
After you have completed this step, the actual installation begins. An indicator showing the progress of the installation appears. Then a message appears to inform you that the installation program is tailoring the installed files. When tailoring is complete, an informational message appears. The message tells you how you can start OpenEdge Management and begin the configuration process:- Press Y to install OpenEdge Management. (Press N to terminate the installation and return to the command line of the terminal window.)

- Press ENTER. The following screen appears:
![]()
- Restart the AdminServer using the
proadsv
utility with the following syntax:For more information about
proadsv
, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration. Note: Be sure that you are not root when you restart the AdminServer. If you start the AdminServer as root, root has exclusive ownership and access to the files that you create when running OpenEdge Management. You will be unable to access those files when logged in as a user without root permissions.
