Log in to the system as the user that will be named as the SharePlex Administrator during this installation. This user will own the installation files and binaries.
If sp_cop is running, shut it down.
sp_ctrl> shutdown
Grant executable permissions to the file.
#chmod 555installation_file
Run the .tpm file. If installing SharePlex in a cluster, run the installer from the primary node (the one to which the shared disk is mounted)
# ./installation_file
Verify that the information shown on the first screen corresponds to the Oracle version and platform you are upgrading.
You are prompted for the following:
Prompt |
Input |
---|---|
Installation type |
Select <New Installation>. |
Product directory location (path) |
Enter the path to the SharePlex installation directory. If the specified directory does not exist, the installer creates it. If the directory exists, it must be empty. The installer quits if the directory contains prior SharePlex installations or other files. In a cluster, install on the shared disk. For more information, see Installation and setup for Oracle cluster. |
Variable data directory location |
Specify an empty directory. The installer creates the specified directory if it does not exist. Important! Do not install this directory into the SharePlex product directory. In a cluster, install the variable-data directory on the shared disk. For more information, see Installation and setup for Oracle cluster. |
SharePlex Admin group |
Enter the DBA-privileged group to which the SharePlex Administrator user belongs, which will own the SharePlex binaries. If the default group of the SharePlex Administrator is oinstall, select any option, and make certain this user is listed under oinstall in the etc/group file. For more information, see Installer checklist. |
TCP/IP port for SharePlex |
Enter the port number to use for SharePlex TCP/IP communications. |
License key (do you have?) |
Press Enter to accept the default of Y (yes). If you do not have a license, enter no. For licensing on a cluster, see Installation and setup for Oracle cluster At any point before you run SharePlex you can add the license key with the splex_add_key utility. For more information, see SharePlex license utilities. |
License key |
Enter the license key you received from Quest. |
Customer name |
Enter the SiteMessage text string provided by Quest with the license key. |
The installer displays the location of the install log file and then quits.
See Next steps.
Task | Description |
---|---|
Patch SharePlex | If you downloaded patches for this version of SharePlex, apply them now. |
Run sp_security |
Run “sp_security –setup” to specify whether or not to enable SSL/TLS for all network traffic. When enabled, SSL/TLS is used for network communications between the SharePlex instances on the source and target systems. For more information, see “Configure Security Features” in the SharePlex Administrator Guide. |
Run Database Setup |
Run the Database Setup utility for Oracle (ora_setup) to establish a database account and connection information for SharePlex. For more information, see Database Setup for Oracle. |
(Heterogeneous replication) |
Install SharePlex on the Open Target system and perform database setup operations. See: |
Assign users to security groups | For more information, see Assign SharePlex users to security groups. |
Multi-instance configurations |
To install multiple instances of SharePlex on this system, such as to support consolidated replication, see Run SharePlex in the SharePlex Administrator’s Guide. |

To run the installer
(Reinstallation only)
Run the sp_setup installation program and follow the prompts:
Prompt | Input |
---|---|
Destination folder |
SharePlex installation directory (known as the product directory). Specify an empty existing directory or a new one to be created. |
Port number |
The port number on which this instance of SharePlex will run. The default is 2100. Do not use port 2101. That port is reserved for the SpRemote utility. |
Variable Data directory |
The directory where SharePlex stores its working files and data. Specify an empty existing directory or a new one to be created. To avoid permissions errors during runtime, do not install the variable-data directory in the Program Files directory. |
Program Manager group |
The folder in the Programs menu where SharePlex programs will be launched. |
