Before Installing Update Manager
Open and read your installation email from Software AG.
If you are going to install on a machine that has Internet access, follow the instructions in the installation email to download the Update Manager installer to the target machine.
If you download the UNIX .sh script and then transfer it to another machine, set the transfer tool you use to binary mode.
Note: If the installer will not start, it was corrupted during download. Go to the Empower Product Support website from which you downloaded the bootstrapper and download the SHA256 file for that bootstrapper. Calculate the SHA256 checksum for the bootstrapper and compare it to the checksum value in the downloaded SHA256 file. If the values do not match, delete the corrupted bootstrapper, re-download it, and re-transfer it using binary mode
If you are going to install on a machine that does not have Internet access, ask your system administrator to follow the instructions in the installation email and in this guide to create an image file that contains Update Manager, and then to copy the image to the target machine.
If you are going to install on a Windows system, and you want to create a script and install Update Manager from the script, do the following:
1. Follow the instructions in the installation email to download the Update Manager installer for Windows to a Windows machine.
2. Open Windows Explorer, go to the directory that contains the installer, and double-click the SoftwareAGUpdateManageryyyymm.exe file.
3. On the Welcome panel, click Advanced Options, click the Scripts tab and click Create script. In the Script file field, type the name of the file in which to save the new script. You can specify any file name that is permitted by your operating system.
By default, the installer will write the new script file to the current working directory. If you want to write the file to a different directory, include the full path to the file in the Script file field. The directory to which you save the file must already exist.
Click OK. On the proxy panel, if your company connects to the Internet through a proxy server, you must use that proxy server to install.
Note: The proxy password is encrypted, but the encryption is not the strongest possible encryption.
4. After script creation is complete, copy the script to the target machine.
