2.2.4 Installing new Application Server (In Linux)

Connect to Application Server and install a new Application Server.

With a new installation, use the product media, PP installer. In Linux, the PP installer that installs Reliable Messaging, TPBroker, and Web Services - Security differs from the PP installer that installs the other component software and the common modules of the products.

This subsection describes the procedure for a new installation. The installation operation requires the root permission. For details on the notes on installation, see Appendix I.1 Notes on the installation and un-installation of Application Server.

Add /usr/bin and /bin to the PATH environment variable before starting the installation process. Make sure that this setting remains in effect after installation.

You can give operating permissions for the Component Container component software to an ordinary user (Component Container Administrator) who does not have the superuser role. In such cases, you need to perform operations before and after installation. For details, see 4.1.3 Setting Component Container administrator (For UNIX).

Procedure

Log in to Application Server with the root permission (superuser).
Make sure that the following packages are installed:
- coreutils (x86_64)
- findutils (x86_64)
- gdb (x86_64) ^#1
- glibc (i686) ^#1
- glibc (x86_64)
- glibc-common (x86_64)
- glibc-devel (i686) ^#2
- glibc-devel (x86_64)
- glibc-headers (x86_64)
- glibc-utils (x86_64) ^#1
- gzip (x86_64) ^#4
- ksh (x86_64) ^#1
- libgcc (i686) ^#1
- libstdc++ (i686) ^#1
- lksctp-tools (x86_64) ^#1
- ncompress (x86_64) ^#1#4
- ncurses (x86_64) ^#4
- net-tools (x86_64)
- nscd (x86_64) ^#2
- nss-softokn-freebl(i686) ^#1
- procps-ng (x86_64) ^#1
- rpm (x86_64)
- sysstat (x86_64) ^#3
- tar (x86_64)
- tcsh (x86_64) ^#1
#1: This package might not be installed by default on servers in environments running specific versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (AMD/Intel 64) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (AMD/Intel 64).

#2: This package might not be installed by default on servers in environments running specific versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (AMD/Intel 64).

#3: This package might not be installed by default on servers in environments running specific versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (AMD/Intel 64).

#4: The PP installer requires the following packages:
- ncompress package or gzip package
- ncurses package
Execute the rpm command to check whether a package is installed. An example of command execution and an example of the execution result is as follows:
(Example of execution)
```
#rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}-%{ARCH}\n' ncurses
```
(Example of execution result)
```
ncurses-x86_64
```
This example indicates that the 64-bit ncurses package has been installed.

If the message Package package-name is not installed is displayed, this indicates that the package is not installed, so install the package specified in package-name. Note that as and when required during installation, install the related packages as well.
Check whether the language type for executing the PP installer matches with the language on the terminal where you want to execute the installer, and make sure that the languages match.
Set the product media in the CD-ROM drive.
If the product media is a CD-ROM, mount the CD-ROM file system.

An example of command execution is as follows. The underlined part specifies the mount directory name of the CD-ROM file system. Note that the mount directory name varies depending on the OS, hardware, and environment.
(Example of execution)
```
mount -r -o mode=0544 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
```
Start the setup program for installing Reliable Messaging, TPBroker, and Web Services - Security.

An example of command execution is as follows. The underlined part specifies the mount directory name of the CD-ROM file system.
(Example of execution)
```
/mnt/cdrom/linux/setup /mnt/cdrom
```
The CD-ROM setup program installs the PP installer and the resident process auto-start program on the hard disk, and the PP installer starts automatically.

Important note

The coded contents and how to display the contents for the CD-ROM directory and file names might differ depending on the computer environment. Check with the ls command, and enter the displayed file name as is.
In the main menu of the PP installer, press the I key.

The Install PP window appears.
Move the cursor to the program, and then press the Space key.

Select all the programs (Reliable Messaging, TPBroker and Web Services - Security). <@> appears on the left side of the selected program. Note that you can also select and install a program.
Make sure that <@> is displayed on the left side of all the programs, and then press the I key.

The message Install PP? (y: install, n: cancel)==> appears at the bottom of the window.
Press the y or Y key.

The installation process starts.

If you press the n or N key, the installation process is cancelled and you return to the Install PP window.
When the message indicating the end of installation is output, press the Q key.

You return to the main menu of the PP installer.
In the main menu of the PP installer, press the Q key.

The PP installer terminates.
Start the setup program for installing the common modules other than Reliable Messaging, TPBroker, and Web Services - Security.

An example of command execution is as follows. The underlined part specifies the mount directory name of the CD-ROM file system.
(Example of execution)
```
/mnt/cdrom/x64lin/setup /mnt/cdrom
```
The CD-ROM setup program installs the PP installer and the resident process auto-start program on the hard disk, and the PP installer starts automatically.
