Installing the FTS Server

Install the FTS Server on a Multiplatforms system by running the FTS Server installation program. Use the command-line parameter -i console for a console mode setup. For more information on running the installation program, see the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms Installation and Configuration Guide.

The installation program creates a set of directories under the FTS_Home (installation target) directory. Most of these directories are not modified after the installation.

Special attention is required for the following directories:

bin: Contains all of the executable files
config: Contains the configuration and the index structures
log: Contains the log files of the FTS Server

Ensure that the target location has sufficient free disk space for the log files (at least 100 MB). Otherwise, the FTS Server stops logging and returns an error code. For more information about capacity planning for the config directory and the index size, see Index considerations.
