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

For NaturalONE version upgrades, it is only possible to do side-by-side installations where each version is installed into a separate directory.

For the new version, you can either create a new workspace or reuse and migrate an existing workspace of a previous NaturalONE version.

Creating a New Workspace

As default at NaturalONE startup, you can select a new workspace folder that is created.

After creation, if needed you can import Natural projects and settings from a workspace of a previous NaturalONE version.

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

Migrating an Existing Workspace

To migrate, open an existing workspace with your new NaturalONE version. You can also copy your workspace to a different location before opening it.

At NaturalONE startup, you will be informed and asked multiple times about the new version and workspace upgrade. This should be confirmed if you want to continue.

Migration will preserve all your Natural projects and settings in the workspace.

Important:
Opening a migrated workspace must not be done using an old version of NaturalONE. Using an old version for opening a migrated workspace may cause unpredictable errors.

Any non-Software AG plug-ins must be reinstalled in Eclipse via Help > Install New Software.

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".
