UNIX Installation

To install the ODM Server in a UNIX environment, select Open Data Manager Interface from the select components dialog of the Server Setup program. You can install the ODM Server as part of the Server installation or copy the ODM Server installation files to your machine for use at a later time.

The panel displays these selections:
Configure ODM Now
This option prompts you for the ODM license file and automatically installs the ODM Server.
Only Copy the ODM Files
This option copies the ODM Server installation files to your machine. To complete the ODM Server installation, you must install the ODM Server and register the ODM license manually.

Specify ODM License Type

After you choose Configure ODM Now from the Setup program, the dialog prompts you to select the type of license you will use.

Optim generally requires an updated ODM license. If you do not have one, you can select Enable a 30-Day ODM Trial License for immediate access. To obtain a new license, submit a Service Request to Optim Support.

Automatic ODM Server Installation

After you choose Specify ODM License File from the Setup program, the next dialog prompts you for the ODM license. Enter the path to the ODM license file, or click Browse to select a path.

After you provide the path to the license file, click Next to continue the Optim installation. When the ODM installation is complete, a progress dialog indicates that the installation was successful. Press Enter to close the dialog.

If you chose Enable a 30 day ODM Trial License, you will not have to specify a license file.

Manual ODM Installation

To install the ODM Server manually, you must run the ODM Server installation script and register the ODM license file.

To install an ODM Server in UNIX:

  1. Run the ODM Server installation file, OdmInstall, located in the /ODM/install subdirectory.
  2. When prompted, type the path of the Connect license key, license.txt.
  3. Log off and log back on to effect changes to .profile.
Note: For users of Oracle prior to release 9.2, ODM and the Oracle Transparent Gateway use different versions of the libnvbaseshr.so library. To avoid a conflict, Oracle Transparent Gateway and ODM must be assigned to different user accounts. The shared library path environment variable (e.g., LIBPATH for AIX®) for the Oracle Transparent Gateway account must reference the library in the Oracle directory before the library in the Connect directory.
