OUR CONFIGURATION :

VMware Workstation

Operating System SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 sp4

RAM 26 GB

HARD DISK 50 GB

This is a basic and default (full) installation of BI4.2 SP02 using the bundled Sybase SQL Anywhere database and Tomcat Application server.

Installation from scratch and that no pre-existing BI products have been installed previously.

Additional requirements for SUSE

Before installing on SUSE Linux Enterprise, edit or add the following kernel parameters and

values to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

kernel.sem = 250 32000 32 1024

kernel.msgmni = 1024

kernel.shmmax = 18446744073709551615

The root user account must be used to edit this file.

To view the current contents of the /etc/sysctl.conf file, run sysctl -p from the command line.

To check current limit settings for your operating system, run ipcs -l from the command line.


5

Set the TZ environment variable

Before running the installation, you must ensure that the time zone on your machine is set

correctly, using the TZ environment variable. If this is not set, the default timezone and daylight

savings time rules will be used which may cause unpredictable behavior.

Export the TZ variable after you set it.

For example, the following Korn shell command sets the timezone to Pacific Standard Time

where daylight savings time is observed:

TZ=PST8PDT

export TZ

Network Setting:-

From the bottom bar in SUSE, start YAST and select the “Networking Setting” item:

Disable IPv6 on the “Global Options” tab:


6

On the hostname tab set the hostname and FQDN:

Apply those changes and quit from YAST.

Right click the desktop and open a terminal:

Add your specific IP address and hostname (fqdn) plus the short hostname to the /etc/hosts file

Save the changes to the file and quit.


7

Reboot the machine.

Once it come back up, you need to check the hostname resolution:

User account –

Create a user account and group under which the software's background processes can run.

Use this account to perform the installation and run the software. The account does not require

root privileges.

YAST-> SECURITY AND USER-> USER AND GROUP MANAGEMENT -> ADD->USER NAME <user> PASS:<password>

Locale: Before you install, set the installing account's environment to use a supported UTF-8 locale and ensure that your console software supports UTF-8 character sets. To ensure that your operating system uses the correct locale, set the LC_ALL and LANG environment variables to your preferred locale in your login environment. For example, the following bash shell commands set the locale to the United States English UTF-8 locale:

export LANG=en_US.utf8 export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8

Tip Type locale to check that all of the related locale environment variables (such as LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC) were properly set by LC_ALL. For a detailed list of supported Unix and Linux environments, see the Product Availability Matrix (PAM).

In some cases its found that the library installed may be for the incorrect architecture Other issues can be caused by the installer finding 3rd party products and libraries via the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH. Removing these extra entries from these environment variables may be necessary.
