Server Setup Guides

Linux

The Omnidex Server Setup Guide describes how to:

• Create the user, group and directory for the Omnidex software.
• Restore the software.
• Build the Omnidex executable utilities.
• License the software.
• Update the software from a previous version.

The software requires about 100,000 to 200,000 blocks of storage space on your system.

Before You Begin

Before beginning the installation, obtain the password for the root user, as well as the following information.

If you are installing the Oracle driver, you must provide:

• The name of the Oracle home directory
• The Oracle System Identifier (SID) for the database or Oracle system you want to enhance with Omnidex
• The Oracle version you are using

If you are installing the DB2 driver, you must provide:

• The name of the DB2 home directory
• The DB2 Instance of the database you want to enhance with Omnidex

When you have this information, you can begin the installation process.

Updating From a Previous Version

If you are updating your Omnidex software from a previous version, please note that you must perform the following steps after software installation:

1. Recompile all Omnidex environment catalog source files using the current version of OACOMP. For example:

omni401/bin/oacomp orders.src orders.env

In this example, orders.src represents the environment source file and orders.env represents the compiled environment file’s name.

2. Reinstall MDK keys on all environment catalogs. If you created an installation batch file, simply change each batch file to call the current version of DBINSTAL.

3. Reindex the reinstalled environment catalogs using the current version of DBINSTAL.

4. Relink all of your existing applications using the current version of omnidex/bin/ldoa. For example:

omni401/bin/ldoa object.o program
