Before you begin:
  • Copy the product file to a temporary directory.
  • Install a compatible JVM and define it on your system path. See Product requirements for details on JVM prerequisites.

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 console 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:

    chmod +x ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin

  3. Run the executable by entering the product file path and pressing ENTER.
    1. Type the file name and path of the product file. For example:

      ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin -i console

    2. Press ENTER.
    3. The Introduction step appears. Press ENTER to continue.
  4. You are prompted for the installation directory.
    • Press ENTER to accept the default installation directory.
    • Type the absolute path to the installation directory for the installation, and press ENTER.

    The default installation directory is:

    /opt/Progress/DataDirect/Hybrid_Data_Pipeline/Hybrid_Server

    If you do not have /opt directory permissions, the installer program installs the drivers to your home directory by default. For example:

    /home/users/<username>/Progress/DataDirect/Hybrid_Data_Pipeline/Hybrid_Server

  5. Choose the JVM you want to use for the runtime operation of the server.
    Note: See Product requirements for details on JVM prerequisites.
    • Type 1 to use the JVM that was used to run the installer.
    • Type 2 to enter your preferred JVM. Then enter the full path to the Java executable.
  6. Choose whether you want to install an evaluation or licensed version of the product. Licensed installations require a valid License Key.
    • Evaluation. Type 1 to proceed with installing an evaluation version of the product (functional for 30 days). Then, press ENTER to continue with the installation.
    • Licensed. Type 2 if you purchased a licensed version of the product. Then, press ENTER. Type the license key, including any dashes, and then press ENTER.
  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, press ENTER.
    Note:
    • For non-load balancer deployments where the server is receiving queries directly, the hostname should be tied to the DNS for public access. This allows you to update IP addresses in the DNS without having to run an upgrade installation to reconfigure your deployment.
    • 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 or upgrade.
  8. Select the installation type.
    • To accept the default values for the remaining options, type 1 and press ENTER for a typical installation. Continue at Step 9.
    • To customize installation options, type 2 and press ENTER. 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.
    • 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 15 in "Non-load balancer installation (console 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.
    • Type 1 if you want to specify a location other than the default. You must specify a location for a load balancer installation. Press ENTER and continue to the next step.
    • Type 2 and press ENTER if you want to use the default location for a non-load balancer installation. This option cannot be used for a load balancer. The default location is install_dir/ddcloud/keystore.
  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.

  12. Specify 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.
    • Type 1 if you want to enable FIPS. Press ENTER and continue to the next step.
    • Type 2 and press ENTER if you want to use the default setting which is FIPS disabled.
  13. Specify if you are planning to use a load balancer.
