You may wish to review the Release Bulletin before installing M-Business Server.

To install M-Business Server on Solaris

1. Log in as root.

2. Copy the file MBAnywhereL_7.0.<build>.tar.gz to a location on your hard drive where you want to install M-Business Server.

   For example, /usr/local.

   Note

   The file you download will have the build number in the position of <build> in the file name above.

   Note

   The directory in which you install M-Business Anywhere sets the path in <M-Business_Home>.

   Caution

   Do not specify a path that includes any spaces or non-English characters in any of the directory names.

   Note

   The gzip and gtar commands used below are required because tar on Solaris does not support long file names. If you do not have gtar and gzip on your machine, you can download them from the Web.

   Download gzip from:

    http://www.gnu.org

   Download gtar from:

    http://www.sunfreeware.com

3. To create the MBAnywhereS_7.0.<build> directory, in the current directory where you placed MBAnywhereS_7.0.<build>.tar.gz, type:

   gzip -dc MBAnywhereS_7.0.<build>.tar

   Replace <build> with the build number in the actual file name.

   Note

   This is the directory at the end of the path in <M-Business_Home>. By default, this directory is named MBAnywhereS_7.0.<build>, with the build number in the position of <build>.

   Note

   If you receive the following error message, you used the Solaris native tar instead of gtar from Sun.

   tar: the directory checksum error

4. To change to the <M-Business_Home>/conf directory, type:

   cd <M-Business_Home>/conf

5. To install and start up M-Business Server services, type:

   ./installMBAnywhereS_7.0.<build>

   Replace <build> with the build number in the actual file name.

6. Answer the installer prompts.

   If you are upgrading from an earlier version of M-Business Server and wish to migrate your data:

   • Answer Y for "Yes" when prompted, "Do you have an existing M-Business Anywhere database that you want to migrate?"

   • Enter the full path to the <M-Business_Home> directory for the previous installation when prompted.

   If you want to perform a fresh install, either for a first time installation, or for an upgrade from an earlier version of M-Business Server from which you do not wish to migrate your data:

   • Answer N for "No" when prompted, "Do you have an existing M-Business Anywhere database that you want to migrate.

7. Answer the rest of the installer prompts.

   Note

   Do not enter root when you answer the prompt for either user or group. Besides the security issue, the Apache install fails if either user or group is set to root

8. To verify that all services are running (admin, asa, soap, sync), type:

   ./agserver status

9. If you changed the UI Port setting from the default, run the agreservedsubs script:

   • At a command prompt, navigate to the <M-Business_Home>/conf directory.

   • Enter agreservedsubs.

10. If your installation was an upgrade from an earlier version of M-Business Server, complete any manual tasks that are necessary to migrate all your customizations. See Preserving customizations.

After installing M-Business Server, ensure database security by changing the default passwords. For detailed instructions on changing database passwords, refer to the Administrator Guide for M-Business Anywhere Server. See Configuring M-Business Server after installation.
