Installing the NPS Analytics package

The nz-analytics-vversion.zip or ips-analytics-vversion.zip (for 11.x and later versions) file contains the product package, the installer, and a verification tool. Use the extracted file inza-version.zip for the product installation.

The installation script inzaPackageInstaller.sh simplifies the installation process by automating installation of the various component cartridges and registering the installed cartridges, if needed. It uses only the nz-analytics-vversion.zip or ips-analytics-vversion.zip, and inza-version.zip files. If the installation script is used, it is not necessary to manually uninstall previous installations, because the script performs that task.

The first part of the installation process extracts and installs the NPS Cartridge Manager (nzcm), which is then used to install the remaining NPS Analytics cartridges. For more information on manual installation using the NPS Cartridge Manager, refer to the section Using nzcm for Advanced Package Management.

Before installing the NPS Analytics package in an existing replication environment, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
  • The same NPS Analytics cartridges must be installed on all nodes.
  • All installed NPS Analytics cartridges must be of the same versions.
  • If NPS Analytics is already installed on one or more subordinate nodes, you must uninstall it before you install the NPS Analytics package on the subordinate nodes.
  • Ensure that the state of the master node and of the subordinate nodes is not suspended or suspending.
To install NPS Analytics in an existing replication environment:
  1. Install the NPS Analytics package on all subordinate nodes. The installation program automatically detects that the configuration of these nodes is a subordinate configuration. Only the required files are installed; databases are not created.
  2. After the installation on all subordinate nodes is completed, install the NPS Analytics package on the master node. A full installation is done. The NPS Analytics databases are created with the configured replication set so that they are replicated to the subordinate nodes as read-only databases.
  3. After the installation on the master node is completed, on each of the subordinate nodes, run the following command from the /nz/export/ae/utilities/bin directory:
    ./inzaSubordinateInstaller.sh
