Install Process Manager Server

About this task

Place a copy of the ppm10.2_pinstall_win.msi file where it is accessible from the setup host. After installation a log file is created in the same directory from which you ran the installation program.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the setup host using the user ID created as the installation account.

    You must have local administrative privileges on this host.

  2. Run the installation package by double-clicking the ppm10.2_pinstall_win.msi package
  3. At the Welcome dialog, click Next.
  4. At the Software License Agreement dialog, accept it and click Next.
  5. Unless you need to change the installation location, click Next.
    CAUTION:

    Do not install Process Manager and LSF® to the same directory.

  6. Specify the directory to store work and configuration files or click Next to accept the default value (JS_HOME).
  7. Select the Setup Type.

    A complete installation installs the following on this host:

    • Process Manager Server
    • Flow Editor and Calendar Editor
    • Flow Manager

    Click Next to continue.

  8. Configure the Process Manager Server:
    1. The name you specify in the Administrators field is the primary administrator, usually the installation account user ID.

      Make sure the user name displayed has local administrator privileges.

    2. Unless there is a conflict, leave the port number in the Port field at the default, 1966.
    3. For LSF Environment, specify environment variable to point to the directory containing the lsf.conf file. By default, %LSF_ENVDIR% is displayed.
    4. Click Next.
  9. Configure the Process Manager service:
    1. Specify the domain and user ID under which the Process Manager service runs.
    2. Specify the password for that user ID.
      Note:

      The user you specify must have read/write access to the LSF passwd.lsfuser password file. Ideally, use a user name and password that does not change.

  10. If you have installed LSF 10.2.0.0 and above, specify the EGO Configuration:
    1. Specify whether you want to install Process Manager as a Windows service (default) or an EGO service.

      To configure failover for the Process Manager server, install Process Manager as an EGO service and make sure that the Process Manager conf and work directories are installed in a shared location.

    2. If you choose to install Process Manager as an EGO service, specify the %EGO_CONFDIR%. This transfers control of Process Manager to EGO.

    If you chose a Windows service install, continue with these instructions.

  11. Allow sending mails:
    1. If you want users to receive email notifications about their jobs, check Allow sending mail.
    2. Specify the type of mail server.
    3. Specify the name of the mail server host.
    4. Click Next.
  12. After copying files, click Next.
  13. At the Information Summary dialog, click Next.

  15. At the Process Manager setup dialog, click Finish.
