When installing the OpenEdge Command Center server, the installer attempts to download the MongoDB package from the internet. In environments where the firewall restricts internet access, the installer cannot retrieve the package automatically. In the restricted environments, you must manually provide the MongoDB package for installation.

Before you begin, ensure that you have administrator privileges on the target system.

To provide the MongoDB package for offline installation, perform the following steps:

  1. Download the appropriate MongoDB archive for your operating system from the official MongoDB download center.
    • For Windows, download the MongoDB .zip archive.
    • For Linux distribution, download the appropriate .tgz archive.
    Note: Progress recommends downloading the latest available service pack in the MongoDB 7.x series that is appropriate for your operating system to avoid any compatibility issues during the installation.
  2. Rename the downloaded MongoDB package, depending on your operating system:
    • For Windows, rename it to mongodb.zip
    • For Linux, rename it to mongodb.tgz
  3. Place the package in the same directory where the server installer file is located.
    When the installer is launched, it detects the MongoDB package and proceeds with server and MongoDB installation without attempting to download MongoDB from the internet.
