Endeca 11.1.0 Installation and Configuration

Before starting, it is a good practice to set a hostname to the machine and configuring it in the /etc/hosts machine. In this example the hostname is defined as ‘endeca’.

You need to download the installers at http://edelivery.oracle.com. In the box ‘Select a Product Pack’ chose Oracle Endeca and in platform choose Linux x86 , to systems of 32 bits or Linux x86-64 to systems of 64 bits. Click in ‘Go’. Select ‘Oracle Commerce (11.1.0), Linux’ and make the download of the following installers:

Oracle Commerce MDEX Engine 6.5.1 for Linux
Oracle Commerce Content Acquisition System 11.1 for Linux
Oracle Commerce Experience Manager Tools and Frameworks 11.1 for Linux
Oracle Commerce Guided Search Platform Services 11.1 for Linux

Unzip the installer of the CAS 11.1.0

• chmod a+x ./OCcas11.1.0-Linux64.sh
• .OCcas11.1.0-Linux64.sh --target /apps

We will use the default ports in this tutorial:

• CAS Service Port: 8500
• Shutdown Port:  8506

This two following variables need to be configured in .bash_profile:

• ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT: /apps/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.1.0
• ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF: /apps/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.1.0/server/workspace
• Server Name: endeca (configured before in the /etc/hosts file)

Initializing the services:

Platform Services 11.1.0

cd /apps/endeca/PlatformServices/11.1.0/tools/server/bin
./startup.sh

CAS 11.1.0

cd /apps/endeca/CAS/11.1.0/bin
nohup ./cas-service.sh &

Tools And Frameworks 11.1.0

cd /apps/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.1.0/server/bin
./startup.sh



To test if Workbench is running, acces http://endeca:8006.
Login with the user admin and with the password set in the Tools And Frameworks installation. If the options 'Data Sources' appears, the CAS is installed with success.

It is a good practice to define the Endeca environment variables in the .bash_profile:

export ENDECA_ROOT=/apps/endeca/PlatformServices/11.1.0;
export ENDECA_CONF=/apps/endeca/PlatformServices/workspace;
export ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT=/apps/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.1.0;
export ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF=/apps/endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.1.0/server/workspace;
export ENDECA_MDEX_ROOT=/apps/endeca/MDEX/6.5.1;
