Installation Procedures

This section describes the product-specific panels in the Software AG Installer. These instructions are intended for use with Using the Software AG Installer (available at http://documentation.softwareag.com/), which describes all general installer panels that precede or follow the product-specific panels.

This section is valid for Windows and UNIX platforms. Specific differences between operating systems are indicated.

Installing Tamino XML Server requires the installation of the following package:

  • Tamino Server 9.12 and the optional package of XTools 9.7

Note:
We recommend not to change the default installation directories and settings. Should there be any requirement for doing so contact your local Software AG support.

If you are going to install Tamino in an environment where users will be authenticated against a central service such as Active Directory Server, and you plan to disconnect your machine from the network, run the installer as a local user. If you run the installer as a user of the central service, when you disconnect your machine, Tamino will not be able to authenticate you.

Note:
Of each version of Tamino you can install only one instance on the same machine running a Windows operating system. On UNIX operating systems, should you intend to install several instances of Tamino XML Server, we suggest for you to contact your local Software AG support.


Installing the Tamino XML Server

When completing the installation of the infrastructure you are now ready to install the packages for Tamino XML Server.

  1. Start the appropriate version of Software AG Installer.

  2. Select the sub node Tamino Server 9.12 and optionally -if desired- the sub node XTools 9.7.

  3. In the license panel specify the full path to your Tamino XML Server license file.

  4. Unless you have specific requirements deviating from the default settings you may accept all following panels by selecting Yes.

You will now have to configure your installation of Tamino XML Server in order to connect to any existing databases. Please refer to section Complete the Installation for further instructions.

Optional Tamino XTools and Software AG Designer Features

The installation of Tamino XML Server offers the following optional components:

Tamino XTools

Tamino XML Server offers two useful tools that run independent of Tamino's infrastructure and can be installed any time.

  • Tamino Schema Editor

  • Tamino Xplorer

For more information on Tamino XTools see the documentation of Tamino XML Server.

Software AG Designer: Eclipse Features

From the Software AG Installer you can install Eclipse-based Software AG Designer features for Tamino XML Server (Nodes: Designer > Tamino XML Server).

The features allow you to create:

  • XQuery Modules as Web Services

  • Tamino Doctypes as Web Services

  • BIRT Reports

For more information on Designer features specific for Tamino see the documentation of Tamino XML Server.

Additional Components of the Distribution

Apache Web Server

Depending on whether Tamino XML Server should be accessed via an Apache web server, the Tamino distribution for Windows includes an Apache installation package in the following location:

\SoftwareAG\Tamino\v95\X_Port\Apache\dist

Information on how to set up web servers for Tamino can be found in the Tamino documentation (Setting Up Tamino > Before You Start Using Tamino > Configuring the Web Server).

Software AG Directory Server

In case XTS communication with Tamino databases via the Software AG directory server is the preferred method and the Software AG directory server has not yet been installed on the target machine, the Software AG directory server can be installed at Software AG Installer nodes: Adabas Products > Adabas Directory Server. If SMH should be used for the administration of the Software AG directory server, the agents for SMH can be found at nodes: Adabas Products > Entire Net-Work > Administration.

Replication:

Note:
In order to use the replication feature of Tamino using Software AG directory server is mandatory should the replication databases be located on different nodes. In this case an XTSDIR setting using a "flat file" directory server must not be active. Instead, a Software AG directory server must be accessible from all participating machines.

For more information about replication see the Tamino documentation:

Tamino Replication Guide
Tamino Manager > Using the Tamino Manager > Database Administration Functions > Replicate a Database

Remarks on Specific Product Configuration Prompts

Tamino XML Server License Prompt

Specify the full path to your Tamino XML Server license file.

Install Using Console Mode

The Software AG Installer also offers the possibility to be run in Console Mode.

While offering a text-based user interface (in contrast to the graphically supported UI mode), the installation procedures for Tamino are technically identical to the steps described in the previous chapter Installing the Tamino Infrastructure and Tamino XML Server.

However, experience in using the operating system's console is required.
