After copying the downloaded product file to a temporary directory, take the following steps to install the Hybrid Data Pipeline server with the installer in GUI mode.
1. From a command-line prompt, navigate to the directory where you saved the product file. Alternatively, place the product file directory on your path before proceeding to the next step.
The product file has the format PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin, where nn is the version of the product.
2. Make the file an executable using the chmod command. Then, press ENTER. For example:
c. The Introduction window appears. Click Next to continue.
Note: If the installer cannot continue with a GUI installation, a message is displayed and the installation continues in console mode.
4. The License Agreement window appears. Make sure that you read and understand the license agreement. To continue with the installation, select the I accept the terms in the License Agreement option; then, click Next.
Note: You can exit the installation program at any time by clicking Cancel or return to the previous window by clicking Previous.
5. Choose the destination directory for the installation. Click Next to accept the default installation directory, or select Choose... to browse to a different directory, then click Next.
If the directory contains an existing Hybrid Data Pipeline deployment, you can select a different directory or upgrade the existing installation. To restore the installation directory to its default setting, click Restore Default Folder.
6. Choose whether you want to install an evaluation or licensed version of the product. Licensed installations require a valid License Key.
Evaluation. Select this option to install an evaluation version that is fully functional for 30 days. Then, click Next.
Licensed. Select this option if you purchased a licensed version of the product. Type the license key, including any dashes, and then click Next.
7. Accept or enter the fully qualified hostname for the Hybrid Data Pipeline server. By default, the installer suggests the name of the current machine. Then, click Next.
Note: If the installer is unable to validate the hostname, you are prompted to reenter the hostname or skip validation. Skipping validation is often desired when performing a silent installation. See Silent installation process for details.
8. Select the installation type.
To accept the default values for the remaining options, select Typical (use existing settings) and click Next. Continue at Step 9.
To modify installation options, select Custom (choose configuration values) and click Next. Then, skip to Step 10.
You will need to complete a custom installation if you plan to do any of the following:
Specify the key location. The key location serves as a location for shared files used in the installation and operation of the server. The key location should be secured on a system separate from the system that stores encrypted data, or encrypts or decrypts data.
Change the Java configuration to use an external JRE
Enable FIPS
Use a load balancer
Change an SSL configuration
Use MySQL Community Edition as a data store
Store system information in an external MySQL Community Edition, Oracle, or SQL Server database
Specify non-default values for ports used by the Hybrid Data Pipeline service
Use On-Premises Connectors for secure access to on-premises data sources from the cloud
9. Specify passwords for the d2cadmin and d2cuser user accounts. Continue at Step 14 in "Standalone installation (GUI mode)".
Best practices recommend that you follow the Hybrid Data Pipeline default password policy when specifying these account passwords. When initially logging in to the Web UI or using the API, you must authenticate as one of these users.
10. Specify the key location. The key location serves as a location for shared files used in the installation and operation of the server. The key location should be secured on a system separate from the system that stores encrypted data, or encrypts or decrypts data.
Select Use default location to use the default location for a standalone installation. This option cannot be used for a load balancer installation. The default location is install_dir/ddcloud/keystore. Click Next and proceed to Standalone installation (GUI mode).
Select Specify location to specify a location other than the default for either a standalone installation or a load balancer installation. (Note that you must specify a location for a load balancer installation.) Click Next and continue to the next step.
11. Specify passwords for the d2cadmin and d2cuser user accounts.
Best practices recommend that you follow the Hybrid Data Pipeline default password policy when specifying these account passwords. When initially logging in to the Web UI or using the API, you must authenticate as one of these users.
Select Use default Java if you will be using the embedded JRE installed with the server.
Select Java home directory and provide the path to an external JRE if you will be using a JRE not installed with the server.
13. Select whether you want to enable FIPS on the Hybrid Data Pipeline server.
Important: To implement FIPS, your hardware must support secure random, or you must have a secure random daemon installed.
14. Select whether you will install the Hybrid Data Pipeline server behind a load balancer.
Select Yes for an installation behind a load balancer. Click Next. In the Hostname field, type the name or IP address of the server hosting your load balancer. Then, press ENTER. Continue at Load balancer installation (GUI mode).
Evaluation. Select this option to install an evaluation version that is fully functional for 30 days. Then, click Next.
