Stage Location

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.

About Your Product's XML File

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.
