How to install BIRT iHub System
1 Shut down the BIRT iServer Release 11 system by performing the following tasks:
1 Navigate to the following location:
/home/actuate/AcServer/bin
2 Execute the shutdown_srvr script:
sh ./shutdown_srvr.sh
2 If the BIRT iServer Release 11 system uses the OOTB PostgreSQL RDBMS, shut down the Actuate 11 PostgreSQL for BIRT iServer service by executing the stopPostgreSQL.sh script:
sh ./stopPostgreSQL.sh
It is not necessary to shut down the service for an alternative RDBMS, such as DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or a pre-existing PostgreSQL system.
3 Install a stand-alone BIRT iHub System that uses the embedded OOTB PostgreSQL RDBMS. Install the embedded OOTB PostgreSQL RDBMS to listen at a port different from the existing RDBMS used in the BIRT iServer Release 11 installation.
When installing BIRT iHub, use the same system name as the previous BIRT iServer Release 11 installation. iHub inserts this name into the names it creates for the Encyclopedia volume schema and the iHub system schema. Additionally, iHub assigns this name to the default Encyclopedia volume. For information on how to install a stand-alone BIRT iHub System, refer to
Chapter 2, “Installing BIRT iHub,” earlier in this book.
The following procedure describes step-by-step how to perform the manual operations required to complete the migration from Release 11 BIRT iServer to BIRT iHub.
