Important Information

This document covers the following topics:

Installation Directory

During the installation, you are asked to specify an installation directory. Specify the installation directory in which to install your Software AG products. If you are installing NaturalONE on Linux, the user that you are using to install must have full read and write permissions to this directory.

Important:
It is recommended that you do not install into a directory which is a subdirectory of a previous installation. Such a previous installation may have been created either with the Software AG Installer or by an installation tool that was used in the past.

Side-by-Side Installations

It is possible to install side-by-side versions of NaturalONE on one machine. In this case, you have to install each version into a separate directory.

Updating or Upgrading NaturalONE

As of NaturalONE Version 8.3.2, it is no longer possible to install a new version into the directory which contains a previous version. Now it is only possible to do side-by-side installations where each version is installed into a separate directory.

For each new version of NaturalONE, you have to use a different workspace. You must not use the workspace of a previous NaturalONE installation.

After a new version of NaturalONE has been installed, you have to import your Natural projects from the NaturalONE workspace of the previous version into the NaturalONE workspace for the new version. In case you also make use of non-Software AG plug-ins, you have to reinstall these plug-ins in Eclipse (via Help > Install New Software).

Important:
When importing your old projects to the new workspace, make sure to enable the Copy projects into workspace option.

Installing EntireX with NaturalONE

NaturalONE's Service Development functionality requires EntireX. If you plan to install EntireX together with NaturalONE, read the information on EntireX in the Installing webMethods Products guide before you start the NaturalONE installation. There you will find important information on topics such as sudo authentication. The most up-to-date version of Installing webMethods Products is always available at http://documentation.softwareag.com/ (Empower login required).

Online Help on Linux

In order to display the NaturalONE online help in Eclipse, it is required to set the Linux environment variable no_proxy in /etc/sysconfig/proxy to "localhost".
