Installing Caché Components on Linux RPM

For Linux platforms only, InterSystems provides RPM installation kits for component installations. Using these kits, you can perform the following types of Caché installs:

Server (see Run the Installation Script)
Development (see Run the Installation Script)
CSP gateway (see Caché Custom Installation)
ODBC client (see Caché Custom Installation)
ISCAgent (see ISCAgent and Configuring the ISCAgent in the “Mirroring” chapter of the Caché High Availability Guide)

Please note the following points about RPM installation:

RPM installation can install only one Caché instance per host and does not provide any installation options.
The instance name is always CACHE; the installation directory is always /usr/cachesys.
The Unicode version of Caché is always installed.
The Minimal initial security setting is always used.
The installation does not prompt for a license key.
Having installed the server component, you can use the other package files to add the other components.

Install from the appropriate RPM package file using the following command:

# rpm -ivh cache-development-2016.2.0.569.0-1.rh.x86_64.rpm

For an upgrade from an RPM package file, use the following command:

# rpm -U cache-development-2016.2.0.569.0-1.rh.x86_64.rpm

Note:

Caché does not support the --relocate option of the rpm command, due to the complexity of the package file.

Important:

RPM installation of a new Caché instance does not start the instance following installation.When you start Caché the first time after the installation, it performs the required initialization actions including initializing the databases and creating the configuration file. See the Starting Caché section for details on how to start Caché after the installation.

An RPM upgrade install stops the Caché instance before it replaces files and starts it afterwards, if it was running before the upgrade.
