| Common unix tasks |  |
| Before you can install ERP LN on UNIX, you must perform several common tasks, as described in the following sections. Korn Shell (ksh) Activate the korn schell to avoid installation problems. Tune the kernel The kernel of the UNIX machine must be tuned to accommodate the projected number of ERP LN users and database. For more specific information about the kernel for ERP LN, refer to the Kernel Tuning Guide (U8752 US). To create the UNIX group bsp Before you can install ERP LN, you must have the UNIX group account bsp. To add this group, you can use a standard system administration utility. The bsp group includes those users who are given system administration privileges for the ERP LN tables. The group bsp must be given the UNIX group ID 125. To create UNIX users The following users are created in the users session of ERP LN:
UNIX users and groups
Logon ID | Primary group
bsp | bsp
demo | bsp
applic | bsp
To create these users on Unix, use a standard system administration tool. The users demo and applic are optional. However, the user bsp is mandatory. Set the bsp group as primary group. You can change this setting later if the users must access the ERP LN database with another group name. Note In some cases additional user accounts are needed for certain RDBMS’s in combination with ERP LN 6.1. For example with IBM Informix Dynamic Server an additional user is required. This user is called database group user and owns the database. It is common to use a name like infordb. Also DB2 is one of the databases that need extra accounts. |
