3.6 Installing Analyzer

This section provides information about the various ways to install Analyzer and configure your environment for Analyzer.

3.6.1 Using the Wizard to Install Analyzer

The following procedure describes how to install Analyzer on a Linux or Windows platform using an installation wizard, either in the GUI format or from the console. To perform a silent, unattended installation, see Installing Analyzer Silently.

  1. Log in as root or an administrator to the computer where you want to install Analyzer.

  2. (Conditional) If you have the .iso image file for the Identity Manager installation package, navigate to the directory containing the Analyzer installation files, located by default in the /Analyzer/packages directory.

  3. (Conditional) If you downloaded the Analyzer installation files, complete the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the .tgz or win.zip file for the downloaded image.

    2. Extract the contents of the file to a folder on the local computer.

  4. Execute the installation program:

    ./install

  5. Follow the instructions in the wizard until you finish installing Analyzer.

  6. When the installation process completes, review the post-installation summary to verify the installation status and the location of the log file for Analyzer.

  7. Click Done.

  8. (Conditional) Complete the steps in Adding XULrunner to Analyzer.ini.

  9. (Optional) To configure role-based services for Analyzer on the Windows computer, open the link to the gettingstarted.html website, located by default in the C:\Program Files (x86)\NetIQ\Tomcat\webapp\nps\help\en\install directory.

    You use iManager to configure the role-based services.

  10. Activate Analyzer. For more information, see Activating Analyzer in NetIQ Identity Manager Overview and Planning Guide.

3.6.2 Installing Analyzer Silently

A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask the user any questions. Instead, InstallAnywhere uses information from a default analyzerInstaller.properties file. You can run the silent installation with the default file or edit the file to customize the installation process.

By default, the installation program installs Analyzer in the Program Files (x86)\NetIQ\Analyzer directory.

  1. Log in as root or an administrator to the computer where you want to install Analyzer.

  2. (Conditional) If you have the .iso image file for the Identity Manager installation package, navigate to the directory containing the Analyzer installation files, located by default in the products/Analyzer/ directory.

  3. (Conditional) If you downloaded the Analyzer installation files from the NetIQ Downloads website, complete the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the .tgz or win.zip file for the downloaded image.

    2. Extract the contents of the file to a folder on the local computer.

  4. (Optional) To specify a non-default installation path, complete the following steps:

    1. Open the analyzerInstaller.properties file, located by default in the products/Analyzer/ directory.

    2. Add the following text to the properties file:

      USER_INSTALL_DIR=installation_path
  5. To run the silent installation, enter one of the following commands:

    • Linux: install -i silent -f analyzerInstaller.properties

    • Windows: install.exe -i silent -f analyzerInstaller.properties

  6. (Conditional) On Linux computers, complete the steps in Adding XULrunner to Analyzer.ini.

  7. Activate Analyzer. For more information, see Activating Analyzer in NetIQ Identity Manager Overview and Planning Guide.

3.6.3 Adding XULrunner to Analyzer.ini

Before running Analyzer on a Linux platform, you must change the XULRunner mapping.

NOTE:The recommended version of XULrunner on SLED 11 is 1.9.0.19. On openSUSE 11.4, it is 1.9.0.2. These versions are shipped with the operating systems.

  1. Navigate to the Analyzer installation directory, by default in the following locations:

    home/admin/analyzer

  2. Open the Analyzer.ini file in the gedit editor.

  3. Add the following line to the end of the list of the parameters:

    -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/

    For example, the Analyzer.ini file should read as follows:

    -vmargs
    -Xms256m
    -Xmx1024m
    -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
    -XX:+UseParallelGC
    -XX:ParallelGCThreads=20
    -XX:+UseParallelOldGC
    -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/
  4. Save the Analyzer.ini file.

  5. Launch Analyzer.
