Installing the interoperation server on Linux systems

When you install the interoperation server on Linux, you must install as the root user.

Before you begin

If you are installing a fix pack of IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® - Web Access (DWA) (9.x.x.x), the Linux interoperation server is available as a separate component in IBM Fix Central along with the IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS) and DWA installers.

If you are installing a full version or mod version of DWA (9.x or 9.x.x), the Linux interoperation server is available on Passport Advantage® as part of the DWA installer. For Linux, the installer is in the .../installer/linux/interop directory.

Procedure

  1. Create a non-privileged user account to own the interoperation server files. For example, you might call this user account doors. If you are installing the interoperation server on the same machine as DOORS, you can use the same non-privileged user as DOORS.
  2. Go to the directory where you saved the installation file and run it. Files are automatically extracted, and the installation procedure begins.
  3. Follow the prompts to install the interoperation server.
  4. Optional: If you plan to set up your system so that a user other than the root user owns and starts DWA, you must run a recursive chown command on the files from the root of the DWA directory. For example:
    chown -R user:group DWA_home
