Release 10.1B: OpenEdge Replication
Installation Guide


Installing OpenEdge Replication

You are now ready to install OpenEdge Replication. Note that online Help assistance for OpenEdge is available as you proceed through the installation.

To install OpenEdge Replication in a Windows system:

  1. See your License Addendum for additional information (including the serial number and control numbers) that you need to complete the installation. The Addendum also provides volume information and the media-ID number. Once you complete the installation process, keep the License Addendum in a secure area.
  2. If you have not done so already, read the hard copy OpenEdge Replication Release Notes for the installation. The OpenEdge Replication Release Notes might replace or supplement the installation instructions in this book.
  3. Close all other applications before beginning the installation process.
  4. Insert the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. If the CD does not run automatically, double-click setup.exe in the root directory of the CD. The Welcome dialog box appears:
  5. The Welcome dialog box reminds you to close any other running Windows programs.

  6. Click Next to continue. The Serial Number and Control Codes dialog box appears:
  7. For OpenEdge Replication and each additional product you are installing, type the nine-digit serial number and each of the five-digit control numbers from your License Addendum .
  8. Note: The serial and control numbers are not case-sensitive. The installation process automatically converts all letters to uppercase. The cursor advances to the next field automatically when you type the correct number of characters.

    When you click Accept, each product name is added to the Product(s) to be installed list.

  9. Once you choose all the products you want to install, click Next to continue. The Product License Agreement dialog box appears.
  10. Read the terms of the License Agreement carefully. To accept the agreement and proceed with the installation, click Yes.
  11. Click OK to acknowledge the copyright. The Choose Destination And Working Path Directories dialog box appears:
  12. The Destination Directory identifies where OpenEdge Replication will be installed. The Working Directory contains your applications, your databases, and your log files.

    The default Destination Directory is C:\Progress\OpenEdge, and the default Working Directory is C:\OpenEdge\WRK.

  13. Accept the Choose Destination And Working Path Directories defaults, or click Browse to select alternate directories, keeping in mind the following important considerations:
    • Do not make your OpenEdge working directory a subdirectory under the OpenEdge installation path. If you uninstall OpenEdge, the working directory is deleted along with the destination directory. Additionally, you cannot start a server for a database that has been installed in a subdirectory of OpenEdge.
    • If you have other versions of OpenEdge products installed, do not enter the pathname where these products reside. In fact, if you specify the path of an existing OpenEdge installation, you are prompted to select another path, erase the current path, or install the products in the pre-existing path.
    • Be sure not to install the products in the pre-existing path if you do not want to overwrite any of your existing product directories and files.

    • If you want to add OpenEdge products to the most recently installed version, the install program assumes that you are adding products to that install location. For more information, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .
    • Caution: Never run OpenEdge products from the directory in which you installed them. If you do, you could damage the OpenEdge software files.

  14. Click Next to continue. The Setup Type dialog box appears:
  15. Select Complete if you are installing only OpenEdge Replication, or if you intend to do a complete installation of all OpenEdge products.
  16. OpenEdge Replication does not contain any selectable components, so you must do a complete installation. The steps that follow assume that you have chosen to do a complete installation.

    If you are installing other products, however, it is possible to do a complete installation of OpenEdge Replication and custom installations of the other products. You can select Custom in the Setup Type dialog box and then select components and subcomponents for the other products. There will be no selectable components for OpenEdge Replication. For more information about complete and custom installations, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .

  17. Click Next to continue. The Configuring/Installing Components dialog box appears:
  18. The options to configure the three recommended components are selected by default, unless you are installing OpenEdge Architect. In that case, the Progress Dynamics component option is not selected.

    Clear the option for any component you do not want to configure.

  19. Click Next to continue. The Select Program Folder dialog box appears:
  20. Click Next to continue. The Select Server Engine dialog box appears:
  21. Note that the Install the SQL Server Engine option is selected by default. (To clear the option, click the check box.) For additional details about server engine options, click Help or see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .

  22. Click Next.
  23. Depending on which products (other than OpenEdge Replication) you are installing, you might see additional dialog boxes concerning the OpenEdge Adapter for Sonic ESB, WebSpeed, or Progress Dynamics®. For more information, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .

    If you are installing only OpenEdge Replication, the Language Choice dialog box appears:

    The Language Choice dialog box contains two lists of languages. You can select multiple items from the Available Languages list. The Supplemental Language Set is displayed in a nonselectable list box. Click Available via Download to find information on where to get the untranslated languages.

    Note: While the languages listed in the Supplemental Language Set are supported by OpenEdge, messages are not translated and appear in English only.

  24. Select the languages you want to use for error and informational messages. OpenEdge can use these languages for run-time messages. The initial value for the default language is determined by the operating system on which you are installing OpenEdge. However, you can set the result to any of the provided languages.
  25. Click Next. The International Settings dialog box appears:
  26. The International Settings dialog box allows the installation program to tailor your startup parameter file (startup.pf) to specify international conventions. (For more information on international conventions, see OpenEdge Development: Internationalizing Applications .)

  27. From each drop-down list, select the international Character Set, Collation, and Case; Date Format; and Number Format to tailor the default startup.pf file.
  28. Click Next.
  29. Depending on which products (other than OpenEdge Replication) you are installing, you might see the Web Services Adapter Settings at this point. For more information about Web Services adapter settings, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .

    Otherwise, the AdminServer Authorization Options dialog box appears:

    When you install OpenEdge in Windows operating systems, and you install OpenEdge products that use the AdminServer, the installation program prompts you to define optional security options. You can indicate whether individual and/or group authorization is required to start the AdminServer.

    The products that use the AdminServer are Progress® AppServer™, Progress® WebSpeed™, SonicMQ® Adapter, and the Progress Explorer. For more information about security options, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .

  30. Click Next. The Summary dialog box appears, displaying a summary of the installation options you selected:
  31. Click Next. The setup program installs the OpenEdge files. When the installation finishes, the Complete Setup Done dialog box appears:
  32. Click Finish.
  33. Notes: If you are installing a product that contains Progress Dynamics® components, you must run the Dynamics Configuration Utility (DCU). The DCU installs and configures any specified Repository databases and other Progress Dynamics services required for your installation.

    Before you can start OpenEdge Replication, the AdminServer must be running.
