Configuring the Application Server

Instructions are provided for First-Time Installation and Upgrades.

Considerations

• All database servers and web servers must be configured to be in the same timezone, regardless of where they are geographically located.

__TBD: Do we retain any of these?

• By default, the application server is installed to this destination directory: /~dirname/longjump_app_server,
  where /~dirname is defined in installation.properties as the default install_dir parameter
• Upgrades to the application server should use the same destination directory
• Optionally, specify an install_dir path in the installation.properties file.
  That destination path should be used for future upgrades, as well.

__ Installing the Application Server

Upgrading the Application Server

If this is the first time the platform is being installed on this server, follow the instructions at First-Time Installation.

Otherwise, follow the process described here.

Important: These are instructions are for version 10.5 and later. If you are upgrading to 10.5, use the 10.5 Upgrade Process, instead.

1. If you have not already done so:
   • Review the Installable Version Release Notes.
   • Ensure that the Hardware Requirements are met.
   • Ensure that the Software Requirements#Required for Installation are met.
   • Backup the platform databases.
2. Use the standard SoftwareAG installer to install the 10.5 platform.
