Install Command Central

About this task

You install Command Central, Platform Manager, and the Command Central command line interface (CLI) using the Command Central bootstrapper. IBM refreshes the bootstrapper every time new fixes are released for those components, so always use the latest bootstrapper to install Command Central, Platform Manager, and the Command Central CLI.

At any time after you have installed Command Central, Platform Manager, and the Command Central CLI, you can install new fixes that are released for those components by downloading the latest bootstrapper for the same Command Central release and running it against the existing Command Central installation.

Installation requirements are as follows:

The machine on which you install Command Central must have the following:
- At least 5GB of disk space, 2GB of RAM, and 4 CPU cores.
- An additional 50G if you are going to use Command Central to install your products, install fixes on your products, or upgrade your products.
- Access to product host machines.
The Command Central system requirements are the same as those for Integration Server. For more information, see the system requirements for webMethods products that are located on the IBM Clearing House website. To view the reports for webMethods products, search for "webMethods".
Windows operating systems must have the latest Windows updates. In particular, installation on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 will fail if Microsoft update KB2919355 from April 2014 is not present.
When installing on a machine running on Windows, you can only install Command Central on a local hard drive. You cannot install Command Central on a network-mounted drive.
Command Central must be the only product in its installation directory, so you can easily upgrade Command Central even when not you are not upgrading your products.

Procedure

Review the IBM webMethods product license agreement.
Download the Command Central bootstrapper available on IBM Fix Central.

Beginning with release 10.7, the .exe file of the bootstrapper is deprecated. Download the .bat file to install Command Central on a Windows operating system.

If you download the UNIX bootstrapper and then transfer it to another machine, set the transfer tool you are using to binary mode.
On Windows, create an installation user account with Windows system administrator privileges. On UNIX, create a non-root installation user account with full read and write permissions to the target installation directory. The account will own all files you install.
Log on to the target machine under the account you just created.
Launch a command shell. On Windows, launch using Run as Administrator.
Run the command below using the privileges or permissions stated earlier. The bootstrapper command provided below uses default values, where --accept-license means you accept the product license agreement. If you want to override the default values, see Override Bootstrapper Command Default Values.
Note: On Windows, if you do not run the command under a user account with system administrator privileges, the console window will close automatically and you will not be able to see output describing success or errors, nor will you be able to see -help output.

The installation process produces many messages. To capture all messages, send the output to a file by specifying > bootstrapper.out on the command below (or, if you prefer, increase your buffer before running the command).
```
cc-def-release-fixnumber-operating_system.{bat|sh} --accept-license
[> bootstrapper.out]
```

Results

You can now access the Command Central web user interface. For more information, see Log on and Start or Stop Command Central.
