Create the New Development Installation
To install Actian X on the development machine, follow these steps.
Note:  The following procedure assumes that the development computer will support both the original and new installations.
Linux:
1. Create a new Actian X directory on a disk with sufficient space to hold the Actian X Home Directory. In this example, the directory is called /ing11/ingres.
Execute the following commands:
mkdir /ing11/ingres
chmod 755 /ing11/ingres
2. Create two scripts to set the environment to the original and new development installations. In this example, the scripts are named “setold” and “setnew.”
Note:  These example C shell scripts may need to be adjusted for your specific installation. For example, the PATH settings may be different, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH may be named LIBPATH or SHLIB_PATH, depending on the platform.
Note:  In this example, the “old” installation is an Ingres 10.0 installation.
setold:
setenv II_SYSTEM /ing10
set path=(. /usr/local/bin /bin /usr/ucb /usr/sbin /usr/openwin/bin $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin $II_SYSTEM/Ingres/utility /usr/ccs/bin)
set inst=`ingprenv1 II_INSTALLATION`
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
set prompt=`whoami`.`uname -n`"[$inst]% "
echo "Switching to original Ingres 10.0 [$inst] installation"
setnew:
setenv II_SYSTEM /ing11
set path=(. /usr/local/bin /bin /usr/ucb /usr/sbin /usr/openwin/bin $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin $II_SYSTEM/ingres/utility /usr/ccs/bin)
set inst=`ingprenv II_INSTALLATION`
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:$II_SYSTEM/ingres/lib
set prompt=`whoami`.`uname -n`"[$inst]% "
echo "Switching to new 11 [$inst] installation"
3. If required, define aliases in the C shell or shell functions in the Bash shell to invoke the setold and setnew scripts.
For example:
alias setold source ~ingres/setold
alias setnew source ~ingres/setnew
4. Use the “setnew” alias to switch to the new Actian X environment, and then change directory to $II_SYSTEM/ingres.
5. Install a new Actian X installation by following the instructions in these Actian X guides:
• Installation Guide
• Release Summary
• System-specific readme
Note:  The home directories can be on the same disks, but do not use the same data, checkpoint, journal, dump, or log directories for the old and new installations.
