To install TDV on a UNIX computer
1. Make sure you have reviewed and completed any necessary preparation as discussed in Installation Requirements and Support Information.
2. For CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Oracle Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) must be enabled. See Configuring Security Enhanced Linux Environments in the Security Features Guide.
3. If necessary, log into the installation machine as a non-root user. Change your working directory to the user’s home directory.
4. Run the following command for your platform:
chmod 755 <installer file name>
 
5. Make sure that the directory and path that you expect to use for TDV does not contain any spaces.
6. Make sure that you have READ and WRITE permissions on the installation directory.
7. Run the following command to start the installation:
./<installer file name>
 
8. Follow the prompts on the screen. Special characters are not supported for <TDV_install_dir>.
You can select the defaults for the <TDV_install_dir> and the TDV Server base port number. The value you use for <TDV_install_dir> cannot contain a space.
You will be prompted for the following passwords...
Password Type
Description
TDV Server Application Password
The TDV Server application password is used to login to web manager.
TDV Repository
This is the database that will be used to store all of the data and metadata about the items that you create within TDV. It also stored your configuration and other environment settings. Passwords with special characters that are supported by your operating system shell are fine to use.
Default Caching Database
This is the database that will be created for you to hold data that you want to cache using the default caching method. There are multiple caching options. You might want to note the password for future use of this database.
Note: TDV will generate a new encryption key when the installation is in a new destination. If it is an existing installation TDV uses the existing encryption key. In case of any errors encountered, the administrator may have to investigate if the encryption key file location and content are correct and then contact TDV support team for assistance.
9. Finish to exit the installer when the installation is completed.
The Server starts automatically at the completion of the installation process. For information about automatically restarting TDV, see Setting the TDV Server to Start Automatically on UNIX. You can also start and stop Server as described in About the Installed TDV Services and the TDV Administration Guide.
Install and uninstall logs are called bitrock_installer_<number>.log while the installer is running. After installation is complete, the logs are named <product>_install or <product>_uninstall.log. The log files can be found in the following directories:

10. If installing TDV on AIX, make sure that MAX_MEMORY >1500MB is in the <TDV_install_dir>/conf/server/server.properties.
The server.properties file is processed every time the server is restarted from composite.sh monitor.
11. Optionally, download and install the latest TDV patch as described in TDV and Business Directory Release Notes.
