Installation Procedure


The flowchart below shows the basic steps of the installation procedure.

Figure 1 : Flowchart for installation

Important!

If you have not received a FlexNet license key, you will not be able to use SDL Suite and TTCN Suite.

To obtain a license key you have to provide IBM Rational Customer Support with the hostname and hostID of the machine on which the license server will run. To obtain this information please refer to the IBM Rational Lifecycle Solutions Licensing Guide on the IBM Rational Support web.

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.

Note:

SDL Suite and TTCN Suite cannot be installed in the same directory as an older version of SDL Suite and TTCN Suite.

When you receive the license.dat file, this license file can be used to run both the current version and any prior version (from the 3.02 version).

Installation Steps

Perform all the steps below:

  1. Decide upon an installation directory. Also, check the amount of available disk space and verify it against the required space (see UNIX Installation Prerequisites).
  2. Start the installation script tauinst.cd, which will guide you through the installation. The script will also print some information during the installation procedure.
  3. Specify the installation directory:
          Specify the root-directory for your IBM Rational 
    products?
    
    
    
    >>    Enter path-name: [x]: /appl/telelogic
    
    
    
  4. Confirm that you want to install SDL and TTCN suite:
    >>     Install IBM Rational SDL Suite and TTCN Suite for 
    <platform>? (y/n)          [
    
    • Enter y or press <Return> if the selection is correct.
  5. 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.
  6. Now you will be asked which license server to use.
    >>      Enter license server name: [servername]: 
    
    • [Enter the name of the license server and press <Return> to continue the installation procedure.
  7. After specifying the license server, the port should be specified.
    >>      Enter license server port number: [27000]: 
    
    • [Enter the port nuber and press <Return> to continue the installation procedure. Default port numer is 27000.
  8. After the message "No further questions will be asked", information is displayed regarding the progress of the installation procedure.
  9. The message "Completed..." is displayed when the installation script has finished executing.
  10. 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

You need to install the IBM Rational License Key Server to run a license server to serve licenses for the SDL & TTCN Suite.

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).

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.
