Installation

This chapter describes how to install the WebLogic Domino Service on the various supported platforms.

Note: The BEA_HOME directory refers to the directory where products are installed and WEBLOGIC_DOMINO_SERVICE_HOME refers to the directory the WebLogic Domino Service is installed.

This chapter contains the following sections:

 

Installation Prerequisites

The WebLogic Domino Service installer is a component and included as part of the WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration install bundle.

Installation Methods

The BEA installation program supports the following methods for installing the WebLogic Domino Service software:

Graphical Mode

Graphical-mode installation is an interactive, GUI-based method for installing WebLogic Domino Service. For instructions for using this method, see Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation.

Note: If you want to run graphical-mode installation, the console attached to the machine on which you are installing the software must support a Java-based GUI. All consoles for Windows systems support Java-based GUIs, but not all consoles for UNIX systems do. If you attempt to start the installation program in graphical mode on a system that cannot support a graphical display, the installation program automatically starts console-mode installation.

Console Mode

Console-mode installation is an interactive, text-based method for installing WebLogic Domino Service, from the command line, on either a UNIX system or a Windows system. For instructions for using this method, see Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation.

 

Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation

Perform the following steps to install the WebLogic Domino Service using the Graphical-Mode Installation. You can install on either Windows or UNIX.

Starting the Installation Program in Graphical-Mode on Windows

If you are installing WebLogic Domino Service on a Windows system that supports more than one monitor, you must disable all but one monitor before starting the installation program.

To start the installation in graphical mode on a Windows system:

  1. Log in to the Windows system.
  2. Obtain the WebLogic Domino Service installer. This installer is available from the WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration product bundle and can be found in the following directory:

    3. GROUPWARE_PORTLETS_HOME/service/domino_service

  3. Double-click the installation file:

    4. wl_domino_service_setup-43.exe

    Note: The installation program begins to install WebLogic Domino Service.
  4. Proceed to Running the Installation Program.

Starting the Installation Program in Graphical-Mode on UNIX Platforms

To run the graphical-mode installation, your console must support a Java-based GUI. If the installation program determines that your system cannot support a Java-based GUI, it automatically starts running in console-mode. For details, see Installing Using Console-Mode Installation.

Complete the following steps to start the installation in graphical mode:

  1. Log in to the target UNIX system.
  2. Obtain the WebLogic Domino Service installer. This installer is available from the WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration product bundle and can be found in the following directory:

    3. GROUPWARE_PORTLETS_HOME/service/domino_service

  3. Launch the installation by entering the following commands:

    4. chmod a+x wl_domino_service_setup-43.bin
    ./wl_domino_service_setup-43.bin

    Note: The installation program begins to install WebLogic Domino Service.
  4. Proceed to Running the Installation Program.
