Setting up the Crystal Enterprise servers

1. When prompted, press Enter to continue with the setup portion of the script.

   This section of the installation is actually provided by the setup.sh script, which is run automatically when the install.sh script finishes installing files. You can run this setup.sh script independently at a later time if you choose to reconfigure Crystal Enterprise.

2. When prompted again, press Enter.

   The script asks you to select the desired setup type.

3. Type new and press Enter.
4. Specify the native database connection that the Crystal APS must use to connect to the new CEaps database on your database server. The options are as follows:
   • Oracle
   • DB2

     Type your selection and press Enter. The script prompts you for the service name that must be used for connecting to the APS database.

     Note:    If you encounter errors after making your selection, ensure that the crystal user account has access to the APS database. For details, see Setting up your UNIX system.

5. Type the name of the empty APS database that you created prior to running the installation script; then press Enter.

   Note:    The database name that you enter here should be CEaps, so long as you followed the naming convention suggested in Setting up an empty database for the APS.

6. When prompted for a user name, type the user name for the account that you have provided with access to the CEaps database.

   Note:    This user name that you type here should be crystal, so long as you followed the naming convention suggested in Setting up an empty database for the APS.

7. When prompted for a password, type the secure password that you assigned to the database user account.

   The script asks you for the port number of the APS.

8. Press Enter to accept the default port, which is 6400.

   The script asks you for the port number of the WCS.

9. Press Enter to accept the default port, which is 6401.

   The script asks if you want to connect to a web server on the local machine.

10. Type yes or no, depending upon whether or not your web server is installed on the local machine. Then press Enter.
    • If you type no, the setup script configures your new Crystal Enterprise system and, when finished, the script starts the servers as daemons and then enables each server (that is, each server is registered with the APS). Proceed now to Installing the Web Connector on a separate machine.
    • If you type yes, the script displays additional information. In particular, it shows the absolute path of the directory where it has saved the templates for your Web Connector configuration files. Note this directory, which should be $HOME/crystal/enterprise/PLATFORM_PATH/wcs/conf/
11. Press Enter to continue.

    The script prompts you for a list of WCS hosts.

12. Press Enter to accept the default (the single WCS that you are installing).

    The setup script configures your new Crystal Enterprise system. When finished, the script starts the servers as daemons and then enables each server (that is, each server is registered with the APS). To control the servers manually, use the ccm.sh script. For preliminary details, see Starting the Crystal Enterprise daemons with ccm.sh.

    Note:    If there is already valid APS system data in the CEaps database, the setup prompts you to reinitialize the APS database. If you type yes, the APS destroys the tables in the CEaps database and recreates the database tables with fresh system data.
