Create the New Development Installation
To install Ingres on the development machine, follow these steps.
Note: The following procedure assumes that the development computer will support both the original and new installations.
UNIX:
1. Create a new Ingres directory on a disk with sufficient space to hold the Ingres Home Directory. In this example, the directory is called /ing2006/ingres.
Execute the following commands:
mkdir /ing2006/ingres
chmod 755 /ing2006/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 6.4 installation.
setold:
setenv II_SYSTEM /ing64
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 6.4 [$inst] installation"
setnew:
setenv II_SYSTEM /ing2006
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`"[$inst]% "
echo "Switching to new 2006 [$inst] installation"
3. If required, define aliases in the C shell or shell functions in the Bourne or Korn 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 Ingres environment, and then change directory to $II_SYSTEM/ingres.
5. Install a new Ingres installation by following the instructions in these Ingres guides:
• Installation Guide
• Release Summary
• Readme
• 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.
