Installing the Batch Deployment Tool on Linux - trillium_discovery - trillium_quality - 17.1

You can install the BDT on the repository server to export a project definition to a server and create the batch script on the server. Installing the BDT on the server has the following advantages:

• It allows you to make changes to the exported definition files, generate a batch script from the modified project definition, and, if needed, import the modified project definition back into the Control Center to make additional changes without losing any modifications.

• It allows you to easily move the project to a different system before generating the script files, which ensures that the paths used in the project files are correct for the target system.

On a server, you run the Batch Deployment Tool from the command line. See the Trillium DQ Repository Administrator’s Guide for details.

To install the Batch Deployment Tool

1. Log in to the server system where you will install BDT as the Trillium application administrator.

2. If you have not yet done so, download the setup provided by Precisely Fulfillment.

3. Unzip and copy the setup file to a convenient location on your Linux server.

   Note: This location should be different from where you copied the repository server installation setup in order to prevent overwriting of files.

4. Run the setup file as follow:

   tss_bdt_17.1.0.nnnnn.nnn_linux.sh 

   Example:

   tss_bdt_17.1.0.nnnnn.nnn_linux.sh.bin

   If you are having problems running the setup, verify that the setup file has the correct execute permission for the Trillium application administrator. If not, use the chmod command to grant execute permission.

5. At the prompt Where would you like to install the Batch Deployment Tool? enter the name of the install directory (for example, /opt/TrilliumSoftware/bdt).

6. At the prompt Please check your installation settings to make sure they are correct. Continue installation? (y/n):, verify that the settings that you have specified are correct.

• Enter y if the settings look correct and you want to continue the installation.

• Enter n if the settings are not satisfactory. The program takes you back to the beginning of the process.

If you enter y, the BDT installation begins. When installation is complete, you see the Batch Deployment Tool installation complete message.
