Installing Progress On Your System

Follow these steps to begin installing your Progress products:

  1. See your License Addendum for additional information that you need to complete the installation. The License Addendum includes the version number, serial number, and control numbers for your installation. It also provides volume information, the media ID number, and the licensed user limit. Once you complete the installation process, keep the License Addendum in a secure area.
  2. NOTE: When you install a client networking license, the ADM/ADM2 directories are not installed in the $DLC/GUI directory. This .r code is considered part of your application and should be deployed as a module of your application.

  3. If you have not done so already, read the hard-copy Progress Release Notes in your Progress media box. The Progress Release Notes might replace or supplement the installation instructions in this booklet.
  4. Log in as root. If you do not know the root password for your machine, check with your system administrator.
  5. Insert the Progress Version 9.1 installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
  6. NOTE: There is an automount daemon on the Solaris platform that mounts the CD within approximately five seconds. If, however, the automount does not occur on your Solaris machine, use the mount command provided in Table 2–2.

    NOTE: You cannot install Progress Version 9.1 on Linux over an NFS-mounted device.

  7. Enter your platform-specific mount command (where device-name is the device you are using for the installation and mount-point is the mount-point directory). Table 2–2 lists the mount commands for each supported platform.
  8. Table 2–2: Mount Commands  
    Operating System

    Sun Solaris Intel 2.6, 2.7, and 2.8
    mount -F hsfs -r -o ro,nrr device-name mount-point
    For example:
    mount -F hsfs -r -o ro,nrr /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0 /cdrom
    HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1B
    mount -t cdfs -o noversion device-name mount-point
    For example:
    mount -t cdfs -o noversion /dev/rz3c /cdrom
    Linux
    mount -t iso9660 device-name mount-point
    For example:
    mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

  9. Enter the following install command:
  10. mount-point/proinst 
    

    NOTE: You cannot run proinst if you are in the mount-point directory.

    • If you have one of the platforms for which Progress does not ship a JVM, the Installation utility searches for a JVM on your system. (Progress ships a JVM for Solaris Sparc, Solaris Intel, and HPUX platforms.) If the Installation utility does not detect a JVM on a platform for which Progress does not ship a JVM, then the following warning message will appear:
    • The Installation will not continue, and you will have to install a JVM before proceeding with the Installation.

    • If you have one of the platforms for which Progress does not ship a JVM, the Installation utility checks whether you have the JVM version that is supported by Progress on your system. (Progress ships a JVM for Solaris Sparc, Solaris Intel, and HP UX platforms.) If the Installation utility does not detect the supported JVM version on a platform for which Progress does not ship a JVM, then the following warning message will appear:
    • You can choose to continue with the Installation whether or not you have the supported JVM version on your system. However, Progress Software Corporation recommends you install the supported JVM version in order to ensure full functionality.

    • If you have either the supported JVM version on your system or a platform for which Progress ships a JVM, the Welcome dialog box appears.
  11. Press RETURN. The Product Configuration Data dialog box appears:
  12. Type your company name (any character string is acceptable), the serial number, and control numbers from your License Addendum for the first product you want to install. Use the TAB key to move to the next field.
  13. NOTE: This information is not case sensitive. The installation process automatically converts all letters to uppercase.

    Table 2–3 describes the options available on the Product Configuration Data dialog box.

    Table 2–3: Product Configuration Data Dialog Box Options
    Option
    Function
    ENTER= Additional

    CTRL-E = Done
    Confirms that the product information entered is correct and continues to the next step in the installation. The actual key you use to indicate Done varies by terminal type. Refer to the Product Configuration Data dialog box for the appropriate key combination for your terminal.
    CTRL-T = Quit
    Quits the Installation Utility. The Quit Confirmation dialog box appears. Type Y to quit or N to continue the installation.
    (When you quit the installation process, the installation utility and all the installation files you copied into your working directory are deleted.)
    CTRL-N = Release Notes
    Displays the online Release Notes .
    CTRL-V = View
    Displays the selected Progress products for which you entered control numbers.
    TAB = Next Field
    Moves to the next field in the dialog box.

    If you enter incorrect product configuration information, the following error message appears indicating that the data is invalid:

    [

    Press RETURN to correct the product information and continue with the installation. The Product Configuration Data dialog box reappears, allowing you to enter the serial number and control numbers for the next product to install.

  14. When you finish entering the serial number and control numbers for all the products you want to install, press CTRL-E. The Done Configuration Data Confirmation dialog box appears:
  15. Type Y to continue with the installation. One of the following occurs:
    • If you are installing a product with WebSpeed components, the Before You Start dialog box appears:
    • The Before You Start dialog box identifies information that you will be asked to provide later in the installation. Press RETURN.

    • If you are installing a database product, the Select Server Engines dialog box appears:
    • Choose the Server Engine option. (Note that the Both option is selected by default.) The SQL-92 Server Engine is not available on SCO OpenServer 5 and Solaris Intel platforms. Then choose Continue with Install.

  16. Press ENTER to continue. For those UNIX platforms on which the JRE/JDK is not automatically included during the installation, the following dialog box, or one that is similar, appears:
  17. The JavaHome is the Java installation directory. The Java installation directory must be in your search path when you install and subsequently run Progress.

    NOTE: On these platforms, the installation process searches for the correct version of the JDK residing on the target system before continuing the installation.

  18. Enter a different version/location than the one specified, or press ENTER to continue. The Type, Device and Destination dialog box appears:
  19. Table 2–4 describes the menu options on the Type, Device and Destination dialog box, which you will be working with once you choose the type of installation you want to perform.

    To select an option, highlight the option using the SPACEBAR key, the TAB key, the CURSOR keys, or the accelerator keys that are highlighted in each selection. Press ENTER to execute the selected option.

    Table 2–4: Type, Device and Destination Dialog Box Options
