Installing and configuring IBM Control Center on z/Linux

You can install the IBM® Control Center engine and console in a z/Linux environment.

Before you begin

Before you install IBM Control Center using the Java™ installer, you must install a 64-bit version of IBM System z/Linux JRE. See Detailed System Requirements.
Define localhost in etc/hosts.
Set ulimit to unlimited for the user that installs IBM Control Center.

Use this procedure to install the engine and console in a z/Linux environment.

Note: If you are upgrading from a prior version of IBM Control Center, see Release Notes.

Transfer the CCInstall64.bin file to the computer where IBM Control Center will be installed.
Set the following environment variables:
1. JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installed Java JRE.
2. Set the PATH environment variable to include the absolute path to the installed Java. For example:
```
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm/java_s390x_70/jre
export PATH=/opt/ibm/java_s390x_70/jre/bin:$PATH
```
Start the installer using the following syntax:
```
sh CCInstall64.bin
```
Specify appropriate values for all the prompts including the installation location. During installation, IBM Control Center updates various scripts with the location of the JRE.
After the installation is done, run configCC.sh to configure the engine.
Attention: During the Event Processor Name installation step, you can use only alphanumeric characters to name the event processor. The event processor name must be unique in the database.

The location of the JRE must not be changed after IBM Control Center is installed. If so, IBM Control Center will no longer run. To upgrade the JRE, first install the newer version of the JRE on the computer where IBM Control Center has been installed. Then reinstall IBM Control Center at the same location.
