Running the Business Directory Installer for Windows and UNIX
To run the installer
1. Make sure you have enough space for the temporary installation files. If you get an error, see the TDV Installation and Upgrade Guide, for how to resolve it.
2. Run the installer executable for your platform.
Platform | Instructions |
UNIX | Run the following command ./<installer file name> For example: ./TIB_tdv_bd_<version>_linux_x86_64.bin |
Windows | Double-click the following file: TIB_tdv_bd_<version>_win_x86_64.exe Note: TDV Version 8.3 installer and patch are packaged with VC++ redistributable and they will be installed along with TDV. |
3. Follow the prompts on the screen.
You will be prompted for the following passwords.
TDV Password Type | Description |
BD Application Password | The BD application password is used to login to Business Directory. |
Repository Password | Repository is the database that is used to store all of the data and metadata about the items that you create within TDV and BD. The Repository also stores your configuration and other environment settings. The Repository password is used to protect the Repository. |
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.
The installation process might take a few minutes, during which progress windows are displayed.
4. Finish to exit the installer when the installation is completed.
The Server starts automatically at the completion of the installation process.
Install and uninstall logs are called bitrock_installer_<number>.log while the installer is running. After installation is complete, the logs are named <product>_BD_install or <product>_BD_uninstall.log. The log files can be found in the following directories:
Platform | Default Location of Log Files |
Unix | /tmp |
Windows Server 2012, 2016, 2019, Windows 10. | %HOMEDRIVE%\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp |
5. Optionally, download and install the latest Business Directory patch as described in TDV Release Notes.
