Most of the screens for this installation require you to input details regarding your information systems. Before performing this installation, compile a list of all required user inputs based on the screen names and tables below. Each table (in the sections below) lists the options per screen.
Before installing a Tuxedo Tier instance, verify that you have performed the following tasks:
This section describes the procedures that are needed to install a Tuxedo Tier instance. You have the option of adding a new instance, as well as adding a new application. For information on editing or removing an existing instance, see the Editing or removing Tier instances or clusters on page 200.
On the AdminPoint Instances screen, you can add a new Tier instance.
Before adding a Tier instance, create a list of all required inputs based on the screen information below. |
To add a Tier instance
Click OK.
To install an instance in an application, you must have |
Click OK to view the next screen.
Always refresh AdminPoint after adding an instance. |
To define Tuxedo property settings
Click the drop-down menu and select the auto-detected Tuxedo domain from the list.
When a Tuxedo domain is detected, other text boxes will be auto-filled. If one of the editable text boxes is edited, the contents of the Detected Tuxedo domain text box will be cleared. On Windows and UNIX, Tuxedo detection is dependent on running processes. In most configurations of HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris 10, detection will be partial and will only return the instance name. This is also the case for AIX and other Solaris versions, if a specific security update is installed. |
Enter a unique Tuxedo instance name that will enable you to distinguish between multiple instances. This is the ID of the Tuxedo software component configuration to be used with this instance.
To obtain the Tuxedo domain ID, look for the BBL process on the server machine; then use the name following the DOM option. Alternatively, look for the UBBCONFIG file (or a file containing UBB in its name); then use the value of the DOMAINID variable in the RESOURCES section. If you are not sure what the Tuxedo domain ID is, you can use the UNIX user name running the BBL process on the server machine, or simply use an arbitrary name. In upgrade mode, this is the name of the Tuxedo domain you want to upgrade. Via the auto-detection mechanism, invalid characters for Precise may appear. This should be changed manually. |
Enter the installation home folder of the Tuxedo information system. This is the installation home folder of the Tuxedo information system.
To obtain the path of the Tuxedo installation folder, log in as the Tuxedo operator and check the value of the TUXDIR application variable. Alternatively, locate the Tuxedo bin folder where the BBL program is located; the Tuxedo installation folder is immediately above it. |
Enter the full path of the configuration file of the Tuxedo information system that you plan to monitor. This is the full path of the configuration file of the Tuxedo information system that you plan to monitor.
The Insight Savvy for Tuxedo uses this file to find the Tuxedo domain's logical name, which it needs to read data out of the domain shared memory. To find the Tuxedo configuration file, log in as the Tuxedo operator and check the value of the TUXCONFIG application variable. This is a binary file. Do not confuse it with the textual UBBCONFIG file. In a PeopleSoft installation, the name of the Tuxedo configuration file is usually PSTUXCFG. This file is located in the PeopleSoft installation folder/appserv/PeopleSoft Domain folder. For example:
|
Click the drop-down menu and select the Tuxedo version.
Precise supports Tuxedo 6.5 to 10.3. To obtain the Tuxedo version number, log in as the Tuxedo operator and run the following command: tmadmin -v. |
The preview screen signifies that the AdminPoint Tier installer has gathered enough information to begin the installation phase.
The preview screen displays the following details before installation begins:
At this screen, you can still change any of the settings displayed. Click Back to change any of the displayed settings. Click Next to continue installation. Click Cancel to stop the installation process.
This screen appears when the AdminPoint Tier installer is actually performing installation. Installation may take several minutes.
The progress screen visually displays the progress of actual installation on selected servers.
This screen appears when the AdminPoint Tier Installer has completed installation of all Tier instances.
If there are no action items, click Finish (it will be the only option available) to complete the instance installation. If there are action items, click Next (it will be the only option available).
After a Tier instance is installed, you must perform post-installation tasks as may be required. Only after completing any post-installation tasks required can you start using the Tier instances you have just installed.
Perform any tasks displayed on this screen.
Click Execute for Precise to perform the action items.
On UNIX, you will need to manually perform the action item with a root-level permission. |
Click Mark as done if you have performed the action items yourself. See Post-installation action items for more information.
When the Tuxedo Tier Collectors have been installed, post-installation tasks may be required.
cd <precise_root>/products/insight/install
./tuxedo_root.sh
A Tuxedo information system can have one or more Tuxedo servers. On each Tuxedo server, you can have one or more Tuxedo domains. A Tuxedo domain has a logical definition: it is an instance holding common business units and handling client processes. The Tuxedo Tier should be installed for each Tuxedo domain. Therefore, if your Tuxedo information system has more than one domain, you should create a Tuxedo Tier instance for each domain.
It is recommended to install the Insight Savvy for Tuxedo in each Tuxedo domain. To find out how many Tuxedo domains are running on your Tuxedo server machine, count how many BBL processes are running on this machine. On Windows, look for BBL processes in the Windows Task Manager. On UNIX, run the following command: |
