    First-time installation only. Depending on your selection in the tree, the installer may ask for a Node Name and a Broker ID. Enter valid values and choose the Next button.

    Note:
    If you use Entire System Server only locally, i.e. without broker communication, you can enter dummy values for Node Name and Broker ID. In this case, broker communication will not be activated and you have to replace the dummy values in the npr.ini file manually, to activate broker communication.

  6. On the last panel, review the list of products and items you have selected for installation. If the list is correct, choose the Next button to start the installation process.

    When the Software AG Installer has completed, the first-time installation, additional configuration steps are required. See Completing the Installation for further details.
