Installing DataConnect Runtime Engine on Linux
Before installing the DataConnect Runtime Engine, you must meet the system requirements provided in
Minimum System Requirements for Linux.
Note: It is not required to install Open JDK because it is installed during Runtime Engine installation.
To install DataConnect Runtime Engine on Linux
1. Download the DataConnect Runtime Engine on Linux installer from the ESD site to the system where you want to install DataConnect.
2. Open a terminal window at the download location.
3. Run the following command to set the installer as executable:
sudo chmod +x di.install.rpm.linux.di-standalone-engine-bin-11.X.X-xx.rpm.bin
4. Run the following command to execute the installer:
sudo ./di.install.rpm.linux.di-standalone-engine-bin-11.X.X-xx.rpm.bin
5. Accept the license agreement and then press Enter to install to the default location (/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X.X-xx).
The configuration files, components, DMS connectors, and connection files are loaded to /var/lib/Actian/DataConnect/di-standalone-engine-11.X.X-xx location. Also, a user group called "diusers" is created to manage permissions for using DataConnect. Any user who will be using DataConnect must be added to the diusers group. You can use the usermod command to add the users to the group.
For example:
sudo usermod -a -G diusers myname
6. Set the environment variables by adding the following to /home/username/.bash_profile.
a. Set DJLIB and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to the Runtime Engine directory:
export DJLIB=/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X-XX/runtime/di9
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X-XX/runtime/di9
b. Add the Runtime Engine directory to PATH environment variable:
export PATH=/opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.X-XX/runtime/di9:$PATH
7. Verify that the permission to update the engine configuration file is correct. If you have to correct it, run the following command:
sudo chmod 664 /opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.x.x-x/runtime/di9/cosmos.ini
8. Copy your DataConnect license file to /opt/Actian/di-standalone-engine-11.x.x-x/ folder and rename it as dc11.slc.
