| # Procedure The Infor LN installation process can be divided into the following phases: The pre-installation tasks The Staging of the Installable Units The Infor LN software installation Post-installation procedure The pre-installation tasks The pre-installation tasks, such as preparing a database must already be performed (refer to the "Introduction" section). Synchronize System clocks When installing Infor LN on a non-Windows system, two systems are involved, The Installation Wizard is started on a Windows system, and at some time during the installation process, this setup will start processes on the system where the environment must be installed. Because of this technique, logfiles are created on both systems. If the time on both systems differ, it will be difficult to compare these logfiles regarding the timestamps. Therefore, before starting the installation, it is recommended to synchronize the clocks on both systems. See also the Appendix "Installation Log files" of this guide, the section "Server" contains more specific information. Pre-requisite solution You must stage the PMC solution 242276 to install Business Object Documents for Infor LN. Technical notes Read the Infor Enterprise server Technical Notes and the Technical Notes for Porting Set 8.x together with other documents that apply to your configuration. The technical notes do not replace the installation tasks or online Help; they provide additional information that can be of use during the installation, or help you overcome functional problems after the installation. The documentation medium is structured in such a way that an overview of the documents is listed in a HTML browser. Multi byte, Single byte and Unicode In case of a Single byte U.S. English installation, you can select the locale ISO_BIN1 (is default). To select another Character set, click the drop down arrow in the locale dialog box during the installation. In case you want to install a Multibyte language pack such as Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or Korean, select the appropriate locale.
Language | Locale
--- | ---
Japanese | SHIFTJIS or KANJIEUC
Simplified Chinese | GB2312
Traditional Chinese | BIG5
Korean | WANSUNG
In case you want to select Unicode, refer to the Infor Enterprise Server Technical Notes for the Porting Set for the latest information. Integration If you want to integrate LN with other applications we recommend you have the LN environment Unicode enabled. To stage the Installable Units The Installable units will be staged in the Staging Area. From this Area, the Installation Wizard can install the Installable Units in one run. You must take into account that the way in which the Staging Wizard behaves depends on the location where you start the Staging Wizard: If you start the Staging Wizard from the medium, the Wizard asks you to specify a destination directory to which to copy the Installable Units. If you start the Staging Wizard from the Staging Area, the Wizard asks for the source directory of the Installable Units. NB If you plan to install the demo companies, it is recommended not to install additional solutions during the initial installation of the feature pack; this is because these new solutions could introduce meta data changes for which the demo companies are not fitted. First, finish the installation, including the installation of the demo companies, and then install the additional solutions. The reconfiguration process will automatically bring the demo companies on the correct Meta data level. Installable units for Infor LN To install the complete Infor LN software for the first time, some installable units are mandatory to install. Select the following installable units; Solution License Manager (client and server part). ES Porting Set Enterprise Server Infor LN The Solution License Manager (SLM) is mandatory. There are two ways to install SLM: You can select this installable unit so the installation wizard will install SLM together with the other selected installable units in one run. The default values for SLM will be configured; this means the SLM Server will be started at portnumber 6005. The localhost name will be added as the default in the `servers.xml` file. To set your own values, or to run an SLM Server on another system, you must start the installer of SLM itself. With this installer you can change the default values. NB Before you can proceed with the Infor LN installation, you must have installed SLM or selected the installable unit of SLM. The installation wizard will run a check on SLM components and will stop the installation if SLM information is not found. |
