Installing the Query Processor Utilities in the Linux Environment

After the release media is installed on the ClearPath MCP server, the Query Processor .gzip file is accessible from the Linux environment on the INSTALLS share.

Note: If you do not have the INSTALLS share on your CearPath MCP server, you must set up the share using the Administration Center. Refer to the Administration Center Help for further details.

Perform the following steps to install the Query Processor directly from the MCPSQLUtilities.tar.gz file in the MCPSQLUtilities/Linux folder on the INSTALLS share:

  1. From the Linux environment, mount the INSTALLS share located on the MCP:

    mkdir <mountpoint directory>mount -t cifs -o 
    username=<MCP login id>,password=<MCP login password> 
    //<MCP host address>/INSTALLS <mountpoint directory>
  2. Copy the software as follows:

    1. Type the command CD <directory name> to switch to a temporary directory.

    2. Type the following command:

      cp <mountpoint directory>/MCPSQLUtilities/Linux/MCPSQLUTILITIES.tar.gz
  3. Decide on a location where you want the files to be installed (for example, /opt/unisys/mcpsql) and switch to that directory. The tar archive creates a subdirectory under this location. Note that you might need root privileges to write to certain parts of the file system.

  4. Execute the following command to expand the package, where the z option filters the archive through gzip.

    tar -xvzf <path to temporary directory>/MCPSQLUTILITIES.tar.gz
