Setting up the Crystal Enterprise servers

1. When prompted, press Enter to continue with the setup portion of the script.

   This section of the installation is actually provided by the setup.sh script, which is run automatically when the install.sh script finishes installing files. You can run this setup.sh script again independently at a later time if you choose to reconfigure Crystal Enterprise.

2. When prompted again, press Enter.

   The script asks you to select the desired setup type.

3. Type new and press Enter.
4. Specify the native database connection that the CMS must use to connect to the new CEcms database on your database server. The options are as follows:
   • Oracle
   • DB2
   • Sybase

     Type your selection and press Enter. The script prompts you for the information that must be used for connecting to the CMS database.

     Note:    If you encounter errors after making your selection, ensure that the crystal user account has access to the CMS database. For details, see Setting up your UNIX system.

5. Type the name of the empty CMS database that you created prior to running the installation script; then press Enter.

   Note:    

   • For Oracle, enter the service name. For DB2, enter the database alias. For Sybase, enter the database server name.
   • The database name that you enter here should be CEcms, so long as you followed the naming convention suggested in Setting up an empty database for the CMS.
6. When prompted for a user name, type the user name for the account that you have provided with access to the CEcms database.

   Note:    The user name that you type here should be crystal, so long as you followed the naming convention suggested in Setting up an empty database for the CMS.

7. When prompted for a password, type the secure password that you assigned to the database user account.

   The script asks you for the port number of the CMS.

8. Press Enter to accept the default port, which is 6400.

   The setup script configures your new Crystal Enterprise system.

   The setup prompts you to reinitialize the CMS database. If you type yes, the CMS destroys the Crystal Enterprise tables in the CEcms database and recreates the database tables with fresh system data. Reinitializing the database does not affect any other tables in that database. You must type yes to proceed with the install.

   When finished, the script starts the servers as daemons and then enables each server (that is, each server is registered with the CMS). To control the servers manually, use the ccm.sh script. For preliminary details, see Starting the Crystal Enterprise daemons with ccm.sh.

   You must now deploy the Crystal Enterprise web desktop and the Crystal Enterprise Launchpads. See Deploying the Crystal Enterprise web desktop.
