System settings
This section provides guidelines for a correct system configuration before the installation of LN.
Before you install LN on
Windows, you must create an installation user account for example infor, with administrator rights. On UNIX/Linux create a group, for
example bsp, This group includes all the users, who are
granted access to the LN application.
Create an installation user, for example bsp, with
enough authorizations to create the BSE directory
where the LN environment will reside. The
installation user name on Windows or UNIX must not exceed eight characters.
On UNIX, for the installation user, activate the korn shell to avoid installation problems.
Synchronize system clocks
When installing LN on a non-Windows system, two systems are involved. The Installation Wizard is started on a Windows system. At some time during the installation process, the setup starts processes on the system where the environment must be installed. Because of this technique, log files are created on both systems. If the time on both systems differ, it is difficult to compare these log files regarding the timestamps. We recommend that you synchronize the clocks on both systems before starting the installation. For more specific information, see section "Server" in Installation Log files.
