Before you install OpenEdge Command Center server, Progress recommends that you perform a set of planning tasks. These tasks include understanding the system requirements for the environment in which you plan to install OpenEdge Command Center server and determining the installation method to use.

Supported platforms

The OpenEdge Command Center server is compatible with multiple operating system platforms. For information on supported operating system platforms, see OpenEdge 12 Platform Compatibility Guide.

Installation modes

You can install the OpenEdge Command Center server in one of the following ways:
You can specify the mode in which you want to install OpenEdge Command Center server using -i option in the installation command:
  • GUI or interactive mode—The installer prompts you for responses before installing.
  • Console or terminal mode—The installer prompts are displayed on the console.
  • Silent—The installer runs in the background without any interference with other processes. You can also record the response properties file and use it to install OpenEdge Command Center server in silent mode.
    Note: If you do not specify a mode, then the installer is launched in GUI mode.
Prerequisite

  • Ensure that you have administrator privileges on the system where you are installing the OpenEdge Command Center server.

  • Ensure that the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 17.0.3 or later (within the 17.x major version) is installed on your system.

  • Ensure that you manually provide the MongoDB package if you are installing the server on a system where the firewall restricts the internet access. The installer cannot automatically download the package in restricted environments. For more information, see Provide MongoDB package for offline installation.

Note:
  • Progress recommends that you uninstall earlier versions of the OpenEdge Command Center server before installing version 2.0. Migration from OpenEdge Command Center 1.3 to 2.0 is not supported.
  • The terms OpenEdge Command Center data store, OpenEdge Command Center database and MongoDB are used interchangeably in this chapter and refer to the same database component.
  • When you are providing an installation path during the installation and configuration of the server, make sure that it does not include any of the following characters:
    * ? < > | ^ & ; ! $ `
    Also, if the path contains percent‑encoded characters (such as %20), verify that they are valid. The installer rejects paths with prohibited characters or invalid encoding.
  • When running the installer (.bin) from a directory other than its location, use the absolute path to the file instead of a relative path to avoid any installation errors.
  • If you encounter any issues during installation or configuration, see Troubleshoot installation and configuration issues for OpenEdge Command Center server and agent.
