Description
How do I install Stat Central Agent on the standalone platform? -
Resolution
Stat® provides a platform on which you can install the Stat Central Agent, referred to as the standalone platform.You need to have a Java® Development Kit (Java SDK) 7 or 8 installed and a system variable called JAVA_HOME that points to the JDK installation root directory (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_25).If you are running Windows® or Solaris and Java® is not installed, or if you have an older version of Java installed, go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and download the appropriate version. If running HPUX, go to http://www.hp.com/go/java/.CAUTION: If running on a 64-bit environment, make sure the JDK installation root directory does not include spaces. The Stat Central Agent cannot run if it does.1. Download the Stat software from https://support.quest.com/download-product-select2. Enter Stat in the Product Search section. Locate the proper Stat version from the drop down list and click download.
3. Locate the stat_server folder from the download
4. Open the standalone folder, locate the file stat_standalone.zip, and unzip to the desired location on the host computer where you want to install the Stat Central Agent.
An example for Windows® might be c:\stat; on Unix®, this might be /usr/local. The location you choose for the installation is referred to as <STAT_HOME>. Use Winzip® to unpack the file on Windows or the unzip utility on Unix.NOTE: Do not unzip the file stat_standalone.zip file to a directory that contains an exclamation point character (!). For Unix, use the -a modifier to unzip the file.If copying the installation files to a Unix system, be sure the file transfer settings are set to binary as opposed to ascii.5. Edit <STAT_HOME>\app\bin\standalone.conf.bat (Windows) or <STAT_HOME>/app/bin/standalone.conf (Linux/Unix) by locating the line with the setting STAT_HOME. Then uncomment the command and set the value for the variable.Alternatively, you can create a system environment variable called STAT_HOME with a value of <STAT_HOME> from the previous step.NOTE: Do not add a backslash character (\) to the end of the STAT_HOME variable.To run the Stat Central Agent as a Windows Service instead, see Configuring the Stat Central Agent as a Windows Service. We recommend that you first configure and test the agent before creating the service.6. Configure the Stat Central Agent as required by your environment.7. Use run.bat or run.sh to start the Stat Central Agent NOT as a service.If you have configured the Stat Central Agent to run as a Windows service, use the Windows Service interface to start the agent. Otherwise, this is the typical command to start the server:●Windows: <STAT_HOME>\app\bin\run.bat●Unix: <STAT_HOME>/app/bin/run.shNOTE: If you have port conflicts during startup, the server will display one or more error messages. For instructions on resolving port conflicts, see Resolving Port and Firewall Conflicts.Optionally you may set the STAT_HOME and JAVA_HOME variables in standalone.conf.bat or standalone.conf file instead of defining system environment variables.NOTE: If you receive a Connection Refused error when your Stat Windows Client is trying to access the Stat Central Agent, you may need to start your Stat Central Agent with a -b parameter to specify the hostname of the agent. In this case, edit your run.bat (run.sh for Unix) and add -b=<hostname>, where <hostname> is the hostname for the machine running the Stat Central Agent.For example, in run.bat:standalone.bat --server-config=standalone-full.xml -b=ALVWindowsFor example, in run.sh:./standalone.sh --server-config=standalone-full.xml -b=ALVLinux8. Wait for the Stat Central Agent startup process to complete. In the server console, you will see the line, Stat Configuration Assistant is ready.9. Open your internet browser and go to http://<stat_server_host_machine>:8080/stat-config.This opens the Configuration Assistant that guides you through the process of configuring the Stat database and the database type-mapping.CAUTION: If you are not running the agent from the local computer (i.e. Telnet session), you must add the IP address to <STAT_HOME>/config/stat-config.properties or you will not have access to the Configuration Assistant. See Authorize Access to the Configuration Page.10. Enter the stat db information and make sure that the save button return ok message.Refer to the attached Stat_6_1_0_Install_Notes.pdf pg 21 for more information of how to install the stat central agent on standalone.
