UNIX and Linux operating systems have specific environment
variables that you set for IBM® Sterling
Warehouse Management System software.
- On Linux, do not use any
soft/symbolic links in the path to the jar file. Make sure that you
specify the full path to the jar file.
- Create a UNIX Account
In a UNIX or Linux environment, you must create
a UNIX administrative account
on the host server for each installation of IBM Sterling
Warehouse Management System software. For example, if you want to create a
test environment and a production environment, you need to create
two UNIX accounts on the host
server, one for the test and one for the production environment. For
more information about creating UNIX accounts,
see your operating system documentation.
- A root user cannot install IBM Sterling
Warehouse Management System.
- When creating a name, such as an account name,
permissions name, profile name, or database name, follow these conventions:
- Use any valid alphanumeric characters and _ (underscore).
- Do not use spaces or apostrophes.
- JMS messages are by default encoded with UTF-8. This is controlled
by the jms.message.encoding property in yfs.properties, not by the
LANG setting in UNIX or Linux environments. Therefore,
if using different encoding as part of the LANG setting for LINUX/UNIX
machines, you must also override the jms.message.encoding property
in yfs.properties to override the encoding of jms messages.
