Installing Enterprise Routing Module Databases

  1. To install the routing databases you need to meet the following requirements:
    • You must have Java 6 installed.
    • You must point your JAVA_HOME environment variable to your JDK 1.6 installation location.
    Note: If you have Oracle environment variables set in your profile, these environment variables may interfere with DVD database loading processes. If you experience database loading problems and are using Oracle, check that the Oracle environment variables are not active when you perform the DVD database loads.
  2. Insert the database DVD or download the database from www.g1.com/support.
    Note: If you download the database from the technical support web site, it will be downloaded as a zip file. Unzip the database before proceeding with the installation.
  3. If you are installing from DVD and your system auto-mounts, skip this step. If you system does not auto-mount, issue the appropriate mount command to indicate that the DVD device is a file system.
  4. If necessary, issue the /etc/filesystem command to update your system so that it recognizes this file system. Specify the correct device name for the DVD device on your system.
    Note: Your system must allow DVDs created under the ISO 9660 format to be mounted as a file system.
  5. Change the working directory to the bin directory of where Spectrum™ Technology Platform is installed.
  6. Source the "setup" bourne shell script to setup the environment by typing the following command:
    . ./setup
  7. Execute the dbloader.bin script.
  8. Follow the prompts as the script verifies your environment and database location.
    Note: You may install databases on a network share, but performance will be affected since you will be accessing them on a network rather than accessing them locally.
  9. After you install the database files, use the Database Resource tool in the Management Console to define the database as a resource. For more information, see the "Configuring Database Resources" chapter of the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Administration Guide on support.pb.com.
