IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.+              

Copying installation files to local server

The IBM® Enterprise Records installation software contains files that are necessary for an IBM Enterprise Records installation, upgrade, or object store configuration. It is best practice to copy these files to the local directory on the specified server, and ensure that the files are not moved or deleted from their location should you need to reinstall and can't find the original media. As part of an upgrade, this is required.

To copy the installation files:

  1. Create a folder on your local machine where you plan to store the files and record the location of this folder for later reference.

    For example, on UNIX, create this directory opt/IBM/EnterpriseRecords, or on Windows, create this directory C:\Program Files\IBM\EnterpriseRecords

  2. Access the installation media and copy all of the files to the folder that you created on your local machine.
  3. Extract the following files from this folder to the specified server:
    Files from software package Copy to
    All extracted installation program files.

    Required for all installations.

    The application server where Application Engine or Workplace XT is installed.
    Events directory

    For UNIX operating systems, the Events directory is packaged as a TAR file. Copy the TAR file to your system, and then extract the contents.

    Required if you plan to use localizations
