Description

$SWDIR is the iProcess Engine system directory, where the iProcess Engine software is installed.

Note

$SWDIR must not be the temporary installation directory, a user's home directory or a directory in a temporary or read-only filesystem.

If you are upgrading and you want to run the installer as the iProcess Engine background user (see iProcess Engine Background User Name), this user must have the necessary permissions to the $SWDIR directory structure. The root user will need to grant these permissions.

Node-Cluster

$SWDIR must be setup on the master server and on each slave server.

Procedure

1. Log in as the user who will run the installer (either root or the iProcess Engine background user).

2. Set the $SWDIR environment variable to the directory where you want to install (or upgrade) the iProcess Engine. For example:

export $SWDIR=/iProcess/swnod1

If you are upgrading and you want to run the installer as the iProcess Engine background user:

Use the following command to make sure that all files in $SWDIR and all of its sub-directories have full read and write permissions (rw-rw-rw):

chmod -R a+rw $SWDIR

Use the following commands to change the ownership of certain files under $SWDIR to the iProcess Engine background user.

chown pro $SWDIR/bin/fixperms

chown pro $SWDIR/util/swinitora

chown pro $SWDIR/util/upgr

chown pro $SWDIR/util/swpostinst
