Customization Customization Tasks The ESI Group software installation script, paminst.sh asks for customization.

This customization is done by pamcust.sh which can also be used separately. To perform the customization separately, do the following: •

Log in on the machine on which you want to perform customization.

•

Go to directory where the installation has been done.

•

Type ./pamcust.sh and follow the instructions.

The customization script creates definitions to allow access to the ESI Group executables and configuration files for all users or for selected users, depending on the method chosen by the installer. Most definitions are contained in a file provided by ESI Software. These files are: •

psi.Cenv for csh/tcsh user environment.

•

psi.Kenv for ksh (AT&T ksh or Public Domain ksh) user environment.

•

psi.Baenv for bash user environment.

sh is not supported due to its lack of functionalities required by ESI Group products. We recommend sh users to migrate to ksh, which preserves sh syntax and habits. There

are mainly instructions added to system or site-specific files:



C Shell - .cshrc file

Korn Shell - .profile

Bourne Again Shell .bash_profile

22


### ESI Gr oup begi n ### # # ESI Gr oup Sof t war e envi r onment # set env PAMHOME / home/ ppg/ ESI Gr oup set env PAMENV $PAMHOME/ env- ` uname` i f ( - r $PAMENV/ psi .

Installation for Visual-Local Model Advisor (VLMA)


29


INSTALLATION OF THE LICENSE Before all, you must have a valid license file. The license file is sent separately from the software installation. See below How to get your FLEXnet License File.

HOW TO GET YOUR FLEXNET

LICENSE FILE?

System information must be retrieved before you can request your FLEXnet  license files. •

If request is a node-locked based license file, execute c : \ f l exl m\ l mt ool s . exe on each PC that will be running ESI Group software.

•

If request is a floating license file running on Windows, execute c: \ f l exl m\ l mt ool s . exe on the station that will be the license server.

•

Select System Setting s.

•

Send all the information in the left part ( Hostid Settings ) to your local ESI support representative. They will send the license file to you.

Once you have received your license file(s), it/they must be moved to the appropriate directory c: \ f l exl mon each machine with the file name pam_l md. l i c

Installation of the License


30


What to do if MAC address is "FFFFFFFF"?

The licensing tools see my hostid as "FFFFFFFF" when using a Virtual NIC even though the ipconfig command will show a different hostid for the Virtual NIC. Virtual NICs are no longer supported in FLEXnet 11.6 and newer versions of the FLEXnet licensing software.

This is not a bug, but a deliberate change in FLEXnet software behaviour. Workaround is to un-team these Ethernet adapters or enable a disabled adapter or install a new Ethernet adapter. If really not possible, "Disk Volume Serial Number" can eventually be used as server hostid.



31


STARTING THE FLEXNET

LICENSE SERVER

Preliminary remark: •

The FLEXnet license server installation must be done with administrator rights.

•

This section describes the initialization of a license server based on floating license files. Node-locked license files do not require to start a server.

After ESI Group software has been installed, your pam_l md. l i c file must be moved to the appropriate directory, updated and the FLEXnet  license server started. To move and update the license file: •

Move your license file to the directory c: \ f l exl mand name it “pam_lmd.lic”

•

Using any usual text editor edit pam_l md. l i c and change $PAMHOME to c: \ f l exl m\ pam_l md. exe on the line beginning with the DAEMON or VENDOR keyword.

To start the license server: •

Execute c : \ f l exl m\ l mt ool s . exe

•

Select Service/License figure below).

TROUBLESHOOTING The Windows Installation does not st art automatically.

Check with regedit tool the registry key HKLM\ SYSTEM\ Cur r ent Cont r ol Set \ Ser vi ces\ Cdr omis set to 1 (i.e. autorun enabled)) How to override CD drive protecti on on Linu x:

In newer Linux distributions, DVD/CD-ROM drives may be protected to not run malicious code. This means that users do not have the right to execute scripts directly from the drive. The script I NSTALL. SH can override this protection. The following error message may appear: / medi a/ Vi sual Env90/ I NSTALL. SH: / bi n/ sh: bad i nt er pr et er : Per mi ssi on deni ed

It means the drive is protected and has the “noexec” mount option. You can follow these instructions to get around: •

Copy I NSTALL. SH script in a temporary directory.

•

Execute it by giving the drive mount point as argument.

Troubleshooting

It is possible that some data stored in Application Data Folder(*) is corrupted. Rename this folder, re-launch Visual-Environment and continue working. Send the contents of the renamed folder to your local support teams for problem identification. Remark : This method may lose some personal customization of the environment. (*) Application Data Folder refers to: •

While invoking the product on Linux, if you encounter an error which says “….Menu Not found”, try “ productname –newreg”.

•

On Linux, if the product aborts which invoking, clean up the /tmp directory.
