OpenEdge provides the flexibility to add products to an existing OpenEdge installation. You can add the products to your existing installation either interactively or silently.

Important consideration:
  • When you add products to an existing installation, you can use the installation program in batch mode as long as you are performing a complete installation of the products you are adding.

To install additional products to an existing OpenEdge installation, complete the following steps:

  1. Launch the installation program. For information on launching the installation program, see Launch the Linux interactive installer.
  2. In the Product Configuration Data dialog box, enter the company name, serial number, and control number for the product. To add another product, press ENTER and provide the required details. Repeat these steps for each additional product that you want to add. Then, press CTRL + E to continue.
  3. In the Done Configuration Data Confirmation dialog box, press Y to continue (or press N to add more products).
  4. In the Java Home Location dialog box, enter the path where the JDK is installed to specify the JavaHome and press ENTER to continue.
  5. In the Type Device and Destination dialog box, choose Select the Destination Path, and specify the path of the initial installation. Press RETURN.


  6. In the Destination Pathname Exists dialog box, choose Install the OpenEdge products in the pre-existing destination path and press RETURN to continue with the installation.
    Note:

    If you install products that affect previously installed products, you might see the following caution message:



  7. Choose Yes to continue with the installation.

    Note that some OpenEdge products that you install have additional installation dependencies, prompting you to perform additional setup or installation tasks as part of the OpenEdge installation process. The OpenEdge installation program automatically determines certain product dependencies and guides you through the completion of these tasks.

After the complete setup is done, the installation program adds the products to your OpenEdge installation directory.
