Installing the interoperation server on Linux or Solaris systems

When you install the interoperation server on Linux or Solaris, you must install as the root user.

Before you begin

If you are installing a fix pack of Rational® DOORS® Web Access (9.x.x.x), the Linux or Solaris interoperation server is available as a separate component in IBM® Fix Central along with the Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web Access installers.

If you are installing a full version or mod version of Rational DOORS Web Access (9.x or 9.x.x), the Linux or Solaris interoperation server is available on Passport Advantage® as part of the Rational DOORS Web Access installer. For Linux, the installer is in the .../installer/linux/interop directory. For Solaris, the installer is in the .../installer/solaris/interop directory.

Procedure

  1. Create a non-privileged user account to own the interoperation server files. For example, you might call this user account doors. If you are installing the interoperation server on the same machine as Rational DOORS, you can use the same non-privileged user as Rational DOORS.
  2. Go to the directory where you saved the installation file and run it. Files are automatically extracted, and the installation procedure begins.
  3. Follow the prompts to install the interoperation server.
  4. Optional: If you plan to set up your system so that a user other than the root user owns and starts Rational DOORS Web Access, you must run a recursive chown command on the files from the root of the Rational DOORS Web Access directory. For example:
    chown -R user:group DWA_home
