Signing the Default Exit after an Installation

After Optim™ is installed, there are two options available in UNIX to sign the default exit (if you did not sign that exit during setup).

Run the opmdsign Script

This section describes how to run the opmdsign script.

As part of setup, Optim places the script file, opmdsign, in the rt/sbin directory. When you use Setup to sign the default exit, it launches this script file to set up the environment and calls pr0sign.

You may also run the opmdsign script file at any time following setup to sign the default exit. Before you do that, however, make sure that no Optim processes are running.

The syntax for opmdsign is as follows:

opmdsign   install_directory/rt   [Company Id]   [Name  [Password] ]
install_directory/rt
The rt subdirectory appended to your installation directory
Company Id
The six-digit ID assigned to your company
Name
The Name assigned to your company
Password
The Password assigned to your company
  • These parameters are positional, so you must enter them in the order shown above.
  • The installation directory parameter (install_directory/rt) is required; the remaining parameters (Company Id, Name, and Password) are optional.
  • If you specify a Name, you also must specify the company ID.
  • If the company Name contains spaces, type the name in double quotation marks, such as “Sample Company”.
  • If you specify a Password, you also must specify the company ID and Name.

The following examples show three different ways of using the opmdsign script to sign the default exit, following Optim installation. In all three examples, the path for the Optim installation directory is /users/roberts/rtinstalled.

opmdsign Signing Example # 1

This section includes an example of signing the default exit.

Use the following procedure to sign the default exit after installation.
  1. Shut down the Optim Server if it is running.
  2. Change to the /users/roberts/rtinstalled/rt directory. Notice the “rt” subdirectory appended to the installation directory; this is required.
  3. Run the opmdsign script in the rt/sbin subdirectory and specify the present working directory. In the following example, the user specified the system variable `pwd` to indicate that /users/roberts/rtinstalled/rt is the present working directory. (The `pwd` variable has the same effect as specifying the directory's full path.)

    Note: In the above example, the "pr0sign -d" parameter shown on the third line was generated by the signing script to indicate the default script is being signed.
  4. Type your company credentials when prompted for that information. Your company credentials consist of the company ID, Name, and Password assigned to your organization when you received Optim. All three entries are case-sensitive, and you must enter them in the format provided to you. Press Enter after each prompt to display the next prompt. After you specify your company ID, for example, press Enter to display the Name prompt.

Note: The Name assigned to your company may not match the spelling or punctuation used in your company's actual name.

opmdsign Signing Example # 2

As in Example # 1, shut down the Optim Server if it is running, and then specify the directories explicitly, as indicated on the first line of the following example.

opmdsign Signing Example # 3

This section includes another example of signing the default exit.

Do steps 1 and 2 in Example # 1 (that is., shut down the Optim Server if it is running and then change to the /users/roberts/rtinstalled/rt directory). Then run the opmdsign script in the rt/sbin subdirectory, but specify all of the parameters explicitly, enclosing the company name in double quotation marks, as shown below.

Run Setup Again - Red Hat Linux 3 or Solaris 8

This section describes how to run Setup again.

If you have the installation DVD or image available, run Setup again. When the following dialog appears, clear the check boxes for all listed components, as indicated below, to skip the install step and proceed to the Sign Optim Exit dialog.
