Running the Landmark user BOD setup script

For Landmark installations, configuration parameters for BODs are set up through a script. The script requests information about the IOBox that has been setup for user BODs and uses the information to populate Landmark ConfigurationParameters. Data from the script is saved to LASYSDIR/install.cfg

  1. From command line on the Landmark server, specify perl configureION.pl.
  2. At the prompt, do you want to configure ION, specify Y for Yes.
  3. At the next prompt, select the type of database the IOBox has been set up on. Supported options at the time this document was published:
    • SQL Server
  4. For ION Connection type, select DB (Database Properties) or JDBC.
    1. If you choose DB, you are prompted for:
      • Hostname or IP address for accessing the IOBox
      • ION database port numberr
      • IOBox listening port
