7. View the final confirmation of components to install. Click Next. Observe the progress bar as files are copied for installation. 8. The database size typically defaults to 2G with unlimited expansion. Some installations display this default and let you modify it in a database installation screen that appears during this process. If you do not want the default, you can consult the other application manuals for database sizing suggestions, but the default size should be an acceptable starting place for most installations. Click Next to continue with the installation. NOTE: Regardless of the initial database size, post-installation configuration of Database Aging Policies (DAP) and monitoring retention policies can have a significant impact on how fast it reaches its capacity. The default DAP for alarms, for example, never cleans open alarms from the database. Similarly, defaults for archiving event history may not suit your environment. Consult the User Guide or online help for details about tuning these policies. 9. If you are installing on Linux, you must run a setup script in a separate shell, after logging in as root user there. Installation prompts you to run a generated script after the installation phase finishes. This script records information in case you need technical assistance and installs some files as root. Open a new shell, log in as root, and run the script requested by the installer (It should be $OWARE_USER_ROOT/install/root/setup.sh). 10. Click Finish. 11. In a Windows installation, notice the Server Monitor icon in the system tray. When the icon turns green, you can start your application client. This icon indicates the application server's status. Green is running, red is stopped, yellow is starting or stopping. Application server monitors your devices even when the client is not visible, or you are not logged into your machine. Best practice is to install application server to a host you do not turn off if you want constant monitoring of your devices. Linux installations do not have a system tray, so you can run ps -ef | grep java.exe to see whether the application server's Java Virtual Machine is running. NOTE: This software is a Java application. Virtual memory use increases when you install it. This is normal. If you monitor memory use over time it may appear that it is growing. This is a normal function of Java's memory management. You can also uninstall this product as you would any other. Go to Add/Remove Programs in Windows' Control Panel, for example. Uninstalling removes all installed files and files created by using the installed system (that it has permission to delete). It does not remove directories that were not created by this application's installation or runtime. User-created directories in the product's directory path remain after product removal.
