Step By Step Virtual PS Install: Tuxedo Install

This is a continuation of my virtual PeopleSoft installation.  In this step, we will discuss how to install Tuxedo.  To see the complete list of steps, click here.

Tuxedo middleware is required before the PeopleTools CDs can be installed.  You can download it with the PeopleTools CDs from edelivery.oracle.com or you can install from a physical CD that you have.

I have extracted the CD into /home/pshr/tuxedo with the unzip command.

Once, you have the CD extracted or mounted, you will need to fix a few bugs before you can begin.  We will start in the directory where you extracted the installation files:

cd tuxedo

First, update the bin file with the first fix.  You will need to run the following lines in a terminal.

cd linux/sles9/base/
cp tuxedo91_32_SLES_9_x86.bin ../Install.bak
chmod +w tuxedo91_32_SLES_9_x86.bin
cat ../Install.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > tuxedo91_32_SLES_9_x86.bin

Next, you need to edit (with either the vi command or the gedit command) the install.sh.  Change the line from (line #259):

        sh $INSTALL_BINARY -f $SILENT_INSTALL_FILE > $INSTALLER_OUTPUT;

to:

        sh $INSTALL_BINARY LAX_VM /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_16/bin/java -f $SILENT_INSTALL_FILE > $INSTALLER_OUTPUT;

Now, you are ready to start the installation and you can run install.sh from a terminal:

./install.sh

For, the first option, choose option 2 — linux. And, type Y to confirm the selection.

Next, change the Bea home directory (/bea) to /home/pshr/bea and also the default tuxedo directory (/home/pshr/bea/tuxedo91).  I am doing this because I plan to keep everything in my user home directory.  If you don’t do this, you need to create a directory and update the security on that directory.

Next, accept the default password of “password”.

Then, enter y to continue with the installation.
