Enabling grid functionality

This section is applicable for both first-time users of ION 12.0 with a full use license as well as existing customers who upgrade from any of the ION 11.1 Grid editions.

The base ION 12.0 environment installed using the Infor LTR installer does not support the additional ION grid functionality of scalability and availability. To enable these features you must execute a separate add-on installer.

Ensure that a base ION 12.0 environment is available and take these steps:

  1. Navigate to the folder where Infor_ION_Grid_Enablement_12.0_install.jar is present.
  2. Double-click Infor_ION_Grid_Enablement_12.0_install.jar. The Welcome screen is displayed.
  3. Click Next. The Grid installation directory screen is displayed.
  4. Provide the value of the Grid installation directory. Select a valid ION grid installation folder where ION is already installed.
  5. Click Next. The ION Grid enablement installer checks for the availability of ION.
    If an existing ION 12.0 installation cannot be found, this message is displayed: An ION installation cannot be found. Select a valid ION Grid installation directory.If there is an existing ION 12.0 installation on the server, this message is displayed: This installer enables Grid functionality to scale your ION installation.
  6. Click OK to proceed further, or click Cancel to return to the same page.
  7. Click Install to start the installation. A progress dialog shows the result of the installation.
    The installer checks at the end of the installation for the status of the ION application. If it takes too long for the application to start the installer automatically attempts up to 10 times to retrieve the status. If the final status is still not known, the installer finishes and displays the actual status at that point in time.

    When the installation finishes, a message displays informing you the ION grid enablement installation has succeeded or failed.

    The final results of the installation are logged in the log file. This file is stored in the folder: %ProgramData%\Infor\ION\installlog.

    For example: C:\ProgramData\Infor\ION\installlog\GridEdition-Installer-<timestamp>.log

  8. Click Done to close the installer.
