Step 1. Transfer the TAR File to the Linux or UNIX System

Step 1. Transfer the TAR File to the Linux or UNIX System

In this step, you transfer the TAR file from the CD image to the Linux or UNIX system.
PowerExchange provides a single TAR file that contains the software for each platform. The name of the TAR file varies by platform. The TAR file is located in one of the following directories of the CD image:
  • The
    software/unix/
    operating_system
     directory of the CD image, for a full installation of a hotfix release.
  • The
    unix/
    operating_system
     directory of the CD image, for a full installation of a main release.
The following table lists the subdirectories that contain the TAR file, the format of the TAR file name, and the binary type for each platform:
Subdirectory
File Name
Binary Type
aix
pwx
vrm
_aix64.tar
AIX 64-bit
linux
pwx
vrm
_linux_em64t.tar
pwx
vrm
_suse11_x64.tar
RedHat Linux 64-bit, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 64-bit
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 64-bit
solaris
pwx
vrm
_solaris_sp64.tar
Solaris 64-bit
The variable
vrm
 is the version, release, and modification level. For more information about the exact file names, see the
PowerExchange Release Notes
 for the PowerExchange hotfix.
PowerExchange versions with integrated hotfix updates have a different format of file name than the base version of the software. For more information about the exact file names, see the PowerExchange Release Notes for the PowerExchange hotfix.
To transfer the TAR file to a UNIX or Linux system:
  1. Log in as
    pwxuser
     and edit the .profile, as needed, to support the files and databases that will be accessed.
  2. Create a temporary directory for this PowerExchange installation, for example: 
    mkdir pwx_install
  3. Make this directory the current working directory: 
    cd pwx_install
  4. Use FTP in BINARY mode to transfer the TAR file to the current working directory.
