Install and Configure the Server under UNIX or Linux

This section provides information needed to install and configure the Optim™ Server on a UNIX or Linux machine.

The installation process for Optim changed in Optim release 7.3 and differs depending on your environment.

For Red Hat Linux 3 sites and Solaris 8 sites, refer to Installation - Red Hat Linux 3 and Solaris 8 .

For all other supported UNIX or Linux platforms, refer to Installation.

Configuration information applies to all UNIX or Linux environments.

You can use the Sun Solaris operating environment under SPARC; the Hewlett-Packard HP-UX operating environment; the IBM® AIX® operating environment; or the Red Hat Application Server. Note that an Optim Server installed in a UNIX environment cannot access an Optim Directory in an SQL Server database. Configuration files, included with the installation, must be modified to adapt the Server to the requirements of your environment.

After completing the installation and configuration, processing initiated on a Windows workstation can be directed to the Server. Additionally, processing can be initiated from a console using a Command Line Interface.
