Welcome to the Rocket UniData RDBMS.

http://www.rocketsoftware.com/u2

Using /ud8243001/bin.tar during this process.

License files are located in $UDTBIN/license.

Parent directory of /disk1/agent/workspace/ud_build/src/udhome/x64release does not exist.

Installation is aborting, please create parent directory.

I do not see any option in install.params that references this directory (btw this is PE 8.2.4.3001 I believe) download from your site about a week ago.

any assistance is appreciated

Doug,

Unsure but a few possibilities and an oddity:

1. Was UDTBIN intended to be '/usr/d82/nom'? - not that it's necessarily wrong, but it looks odd and is usually /usr/ud82/bin
2. PE does not have RFS or replication I believe - please turn these off.
3. The license number, expiry date, product features  and activation on PE are all  hard coded and cannot be specified or varied.
4. PE cannot be upgraded - any prior version must be deinstalled/removed and then any newer version installed afresh. Preserve any application account before doing so and do not put anything you wish to keep in "demo" or "XDEMO"
5. I recommend installing XDEMO as there are some useful examples in there of Python usage in particular.
6. Do you have UDTHOME or UDTBIN already set in your environment variables to a competing location?

Given the hard coded nature of PE authorisation I recommend using the standard installation routine and not attempting an upgrade from prestored parameters. though it may work if the appropriate data regarding product features in PE and the PE hard-coded license number are used,

Doug,

Can you raise a call with the support on this as the directory noted to be missing is one of directories from our build machines and may be limited to the PE edition. Have you tried using the install.params file on a non PE version of 8.2.4 ?

Regards,

Jonathan

not yet but I will once I get an official build (try install.param on a non PE version) where would I create a support ticket, as this is a personal learning project not part of my job at the moment.

thanks

Doug,

We tried internally with  the same PE download image you were using and cannot reproduce the issue you are seeing. We're wondering if you are using the correct install.param file. We put it in the same directory as udtsetup and outside of the UDTBIN or specify the full path to the install.param. The tar file has an install.param file that references the build path (on PE and non-PE media).  Our thinking is that you extracted files to udtbin, then ran udtsetup from there and hence ending up referencing the incorrect install.param file. The old install method is to extract everything in udtbin and then run the script and not the method to use for udtsetup.

So could you setup a directory that just contains the install tar file,udtsetup script and the install.param file. The udtsetup script can be extracted seperatly from the install tar file. Then run your udtsetup from the seperate directory and let us know if that works as that is how we install it internally.

Thanks,
