OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration - Product ...

Appendix B: Preinstallation Checklist for UNIX
Java platform requirements
If your installation requires either the JDK or the JRE, proceed according to these
points:
❒ Check the Java-specific requirements for your supported platform as identified in
the “Chapter 2, “UNIX Systems Installation Requirements.”
❒ If the required JDK or JRE is not provided with your installation medium, install the
required element, ensuring that the JDK or JRE is the first Java entry in the $PATH
environment variable. The variable’s value must point to /bin.
Products to install
❒ Obtain serial numbers and control codes from the License Addendum. Control
codes are not case sensitive and can be entered in any order.
Values from your existing OpenEdge installation
If the Installation Program detects an earlier OpenEdge Release 10 installation on the
machine to which you are installing OpenEdge 11.0, you are prompted to use the
values defined for the prior installation as default values in the OpenEdge 11.0
installation. Proceed as follows:
❒ Choose Yes to accept the values as default values. A reminder Initial values
used from a previous installation displays at the bottom of each dialog box
affected.
❒ Choose No to decline the option. Only the Installation Program default values
appear.
Installation and working directories
❒ Accept the default destination directory location provided,
/usr/OpenEdge-install-dir, or define another location:
_________________________. Do not use the pathname where other versions
of Progress or OpenEdge products are already installed on your system.
❒ Accept the default working directory location provided, /usr/wrk, in which your
applications, databases, and log files will reside, or define another
location: __________________________________. Do not make your working
directory a subdirectory under the OpenEdge installation path.
