Installing the server in interactive mode
In interactive mode, you install the server by typing configuration information at the command line.
- Make sure that you have a license server with available licenses. See License management.
- Ensure that a supported version of a Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed on the computer on which you are installing IBM UrbanCode Build. For more information, see System requirements.
- Set the JAVA_HOME system variable to the location of the JRE or JDK that you are using.
- If you are installing the server to be compliant with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), the computer must use a supported version of an IBM JRE or JDK.
- Ensure that the IBM JRE or JDK is a supported version and supported service refresh (SR) level. For more information, see System requirements.
- If you are installing the server in a production environment, install and configure the database before you install the server. See Installing the database. If you are not installing in a production environment, you can install an instance of Apache Derby during the installation steps.
- If you are using a database other than Apache Derby, place the JAR file for the database driver in the lib/ext folder of the installation program.
- If you are installing on AIX®, the file extraction program is required.
The properties that are set during installation are recorded in the server_install/conf/server/installed.properties file on the server.
When you run the server for the first time, you might see an error message that says that no agent is configured. To make this error go away, you must configure an agent. To configure an agent, see Configuring agents.
