The stage location is the centralized location where components are placed
for installations. The components are bundled in one stage location file (usually
an.xml file). OUI reads this file and provides an inventory of
the components available to be installed.
When you install your product, the .xml file, which contains
the files necessary to install your product, as well as libraries which are
used by OUI, are first copied to a default location before they are extracted
to their install location. This default location is the TEMP or
TMP directory.
Note: In both Windows NT and
Solaris, Universal Installer looks for %TEMP% then %TMP%. If neither
environment variable is set, the default directory is c:/temp
for Windows and /tmp for UNIX.
Make sure you have enough space in the default TEMP
or TMP directory
otherwise the installation will not succeed. The amount of space
required depends on the product being installed.
Note: The stage location may be over the network, on a CD-ROM, local to the installation destination, or over an internet server.
