Installation Procedure
The flowchart below shows the basic steps of the installation procedure.
Installing the Software
Before starting the installation script, you should find a location in your file system where to store the installation. This directory is called the installation directory.
/appl/telelogic will be used as an example installation directory for this installation.
Installation Steps
- Decide upon an installation directory. Also, check the amount of available disk space and verify it against the required space (see UNIX Installation Prerequisites).
- Start the installation script tauinst.cd, which will guide you through the installation. The script will also print some information during the installation procedure.
- Specify the installation directory:
Specify the root-directory for your IBM Rational products?>> Enter path-name: [x]: /appl/telelogic- Confirm that you want to install SDL and TTCN suite:
>> Install IBM Rational SDL Suite and TTCN Suite for <platform>? (y/n) [- Now you will be prompted with information about what you will install and how much disk space it will require and where the installation will be placed. Confirm this by entering y or press <Return> if the selection is correct.
- Now you will be asked which license server to use.
>> Enter license server name: [servername]:- After specifying the license server, the port should be specified.
>> Enter license server port number: [19353]:- After the message "No further questions will be asked", information is displayed regarding the progress of the installation procedure.
- The message "Completed..." is displayed when the installation script has finished executing.
- To check that the installation was successful, do a ls /appl/telelogic (where /appl/telelogic is your installation directory). You should at least see:
bin/ bitmaps/ examples/ fontinfo/ include/ itex/ lib/ license.dat sdt/ X11/There can be other files and directories visible, depending on the platform.
Installing the FLEXnet License
Follow the directions below to install your textual FLEXnet license file. The license file contains the license key you have received from IBM Rational Customer Support.
If you have not yet received a FLEXnet license key, contact IBM Rational Customer Support (see How to Contact Customer Support).
You have two options in installing your FLEXnet license:
- In a shared license file, which is shared with other FLEXnet licensed software, see Using a Shared License File. You may consider this option if you have other software products that make use of FLEXnet licensing.
- As an IBM Rational specific license, which only handles licenses for SDL Suite and TTCN Suite, see Using a telelogic Specific License File. This is the default option if you only will use FLEXnet for the licenses.
Using a Shared License File
If you have other products that make use of FLEXnet you may wish to install your IBM Rational license features into the existing FLEXnet license.dat file. Make sure the global installation is FLEXnet 11.5 or higher. To install the license key:
- Copy the following lines from the license key you received from IBM Rational Customer Support into the existing license.dat file:
- the VENDOR line; make sure to change the path to the /flex/{arch} subdirectory in your installation directory (where {arch} is the architecture of your server, i.e. "solaris")
- the FEATURE line(s)
- You must do this since your existing license server's "lmgrd" daemon is not in the same directory as the "telelogic" daemon (for information, see Common problems).
- Set the environment variable TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE to point to the location of the existing license.dat file.
LM_LICENSE_FILE=/your/directory/license.dat
- There must not be a license.dat file in the top level of the installation directory. If there is, remove or rename the file $telelogic/license.dat
- When you have changed any information in the license.dat file, you must update the license server to let it know about the changes. To do this, run the following script:
$telelogic/bin/updatelicdThe license installation is finished. Continue with Installing a C Compiler.
Using a telelogic Specific License File
If you will only use FLEXnet for licenses using the vendor telelogic, or wish to run a separate FLEXnet license server for products using the telelogic vendor, do the following:
- Log in on the computer where the license server is to run.
- Save or copy the FLEXnet license key you received from IBM Rational Customer Support into a text file called license.dat, and store the file in the default location, which is the installation directory ($telelogic/license.dat).
- If you wish to place this file in another location, you must set the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to point to this location.
LM_LICENSE_FILE=/your/directory/license.dat
- After the file has been placed in the new directory, make sure to remove or rename the file $telelogic/license.dat.
- Make sure that the information in the license.dat file is correct according to your server and installation:
Starting the License Server
You will now start the FLEXnet license server:
If you are using an evaluation license, or if the word "DEMO" ends each FEATURE line in your license.dat file, you do not need to start the license server.
- Make sure no license servers for the IBM Rational tools are currently running. Search for the license daemons lmgrd and telelogic in the current process list, for instance by using the command
ps -ae | egrep '(lmgrd|telelog)'. If you have any license daemons running, terminate them using the kill command and the PID number(s).- Change to your installation directory:
cd $telelogic- Start the license server:
./bin/startlicd- Check that the license server has been started correctly with the following command:
./bin/stat -a- If the startup has failed, check the license.dat file for errors and omissions; see Common problems. Double-check your file with the original sent from IBM Rational Customer Support. Especially check the "company name" information in the quote-field of the first FEATURE line in the file.
The log file will grow as users run SDL Suite and TTCN Suite. You may consider deleting the head of the file from time to time to save disk space.
The license installation is now finished.
Installing a C Compiler
You must also install a C compiler to be able to use certain features of the SDL Suite and TTCN Suite tools, such as Simulation and code generation. How to install a C compiler is described in the compiler documentation.
For information on which C compiler you need, see The SDL Suite Compiler Environment and The TTCN Suite Compiler Environment.
