# Installation and Upgrade Guide

# Overview - Installation and Upgrade

This chapter provides a high-level overview of the installation and upgrade procedures as well as references to other chapters and sections of this guide for more information. This chapter contains the following sections:

- Installing Collaboration on Windows.
- Upgrading Collaboration on Windows.
- Installing Collaboration on UNIX and Linux.
- Installing Microsoft Exchange Integration.
- Installing Collaboration on Multiple Systems - Silent Installation.

This overview assumes the following recommended network configuration:

- Collaboration and the Notification Service are installed on the same physical machine.
- The Image Service is installed on its own physical machine.
- The portal is installed on its own physical machine.

For more information on recommended configurations based on the size of your implementation, refer to the Deployment Guide for BEA AquaLogic User Interaction (Plumtree Application Suite).

### Installing Collaboration on Windows

This section gives you an overview of the procedures required to perform a new installation of Collaboration on Windows.

To install Collaboration:

1. Verify that you have completed the pre-installation requirements and procedures outlined in Pre-Installation Procedures. These include:

- Verify the portal and required components are installed
- Verify the portal database is installed
- Create the Collaboration database

2. Run the installer on the machine where you want to install Collaboration. For information on using the installer, see Installing Collaboration on Windows.

During this stage, install the following components:

- Collaboration
- Notification Service

For more information on choosing specific components during installation, see Choose Components.

3. Run the installer on the machine where the Image Service is installed. For information on using the installer, see Installing Collaboration on Windows.

During this stage, install the Image Service component.

For more information on choosing specific components during installation, see Choose Components.

4. Perform the post-installation procedures outlined in Post Installation Procedures. These include:

- Run the Collaboration scripts on the Collaboration database

These scripts create the necessary schema on the Collaboration database. You must run these scripts using the Collaboration database user ID.

- Run the Collaboration scripts on the portal database

These scripts create the necessary schema on the portal database. You must run these scripts using the portal database user ID.

- Configure Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes integration
- Configure the Publish to Portal feature

### Upgrading Collaboration on Windows

If you are upgrading from a previous Windows version of Collaboration, this section provides an overview of the required procedures.

To upgrade Collaboration:

1. Verify that you have completed the pre-upgrade requirements and procedures outlined in Pre-Upgrade Procedures. These include:

- Verify the portal and required components are installed.
- Verify the portal database is installed.
- Configure the Collaboration database.

2. Run the installer on the machine where Collaboration is installed. For information on using the installer, see Running the Installer.

During this stage, install the following components:

- Collaboration
- Notification Service

For more information on choosing specific components during installation, see Choose Components.

3. Run the installer on the machine where the Image Service is installed. For information on using the installer, see Running the Installer.

During this stage, install the Image Service.

For more information on choosing specific components during installation, see Choose Components.

4. Perform the post-upgrade procedures outlined in Post-Upgrade Procedures. These include:

- Run the Collaboration scripts on the Collaboration database

These scripts create the necessary schema on the Collaboration database. You must run these scripts using the Collaboration database user ID.

- Run the Collaboration scripts on the portal database

These scripts create the necessary schema on the portal database. You must run these scripts using the portal database user ID.

- Configure Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes integration
- Configure the Publish to Portal feature

### Installing Collaboration on UNIX and Linux

For complete information on installing Collaboration on UNIX and Linux, see Installing Collaboration on UNIX or Linux

### Installing Microsoft Exchange Integration

If you choose to install groupware integration using Microsoft Exchange, you must run the AquaLogic Interaction Exchange Remote API installer. For more information, see Installing the Exchange Remote API. Refer to Configuring IIS for information on IIS configuration.

### Installing Collaboration on Multiple Systems - Silent Installation

When you are installing the Image Service or Notification Service on a different computer from the one where Collaboration is installed, you can use the silent properties file to import the values into the installer and install silently. The installer must be run once as a GUI to produce a properties file.

To run the installer silently using the silent properties file, go to a command line and execute:

    <full_Path_To_Installer>/ALICollaboration_<version> -f
    <full_Path_To_Properties_File>/AquaLogicInteractionCollaboration_<versi
    on>.properties

For example:

    <full_Path_To_Installer>/ALICollaboration_v4-1 - f
    <full_Path_To_Properties_File>/AquaLogicInteractionCollaboration_v4-1_s
    ilent.properties
