--------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. Download the IBM_RLKS_AdminTool_Service_UNIX.tar.gz.

  2. Untar the contents of the rcladmin folder to the IBM RLKS Administration and Reporting Tool installation location (install_location).
    By default: /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdmin

  3. Go to the install_location

    cd /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdmin

  4. Ensure the install_admin_service.sh file has Execute permission (by default it has the Execute permission, but if the files are copied from a Windows machine, it gets modified).

    Run the command:
    chmod +x install_admin_service.sh

  5. Run ./install_admin_service.sh install

    The service gets installed as rcladmin


Disable automatic startup of IBM RLKS Administration and Reporting Tool at system start up.

  2. Run the command ./install_admin_service.sh remove


Enable IBM RLKS Administration Agent to start automatically at start up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Download the IBM_RLKS_AdminTool_Agent_Service_UNIX.tar.gz.

  2. Untar the contents of the rclagent folder to the IBM RLKS Administration Agent installation location.
    By default: /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdminAgent

  3. Go to the install_location

    cd /opt/IBM/RCL/RLKSAdminAgent

  4. Ensure the install_agent_service.sh file has Execute permission (by default it has the Execute permission, but if the files are copied from a Windows machine, it gets modified).

    Run the command:
    chmod +x install_agent_service.sh

  5. Run ./install_agent_service.sh install [agent_service_name]

    The agent_service_name is optional, if it is not specified the service gets installed as "rclagent".

    If more than one agent is installed on the same machine, then specify a different agent_service_name for each agent installations.

    Example:

    For the first agent, run ./install_agent_service.sh install rclagent_rlks
    For the second agent, run ./install_agent_service.sh install rclagent_clm


Disable automatic start up of IBM RLKS Administration Agent at system start up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Go to the installation_location.

  2. Run the command ./install_agent_service.sh remove [agent_service_name]

    If an agent_service_name is not specified, the script will try to remove the service 'rclagent'.
