Scope

• This article describes a best practice on how to install and update JobScheduler on a Solaris machine
• Note that Solaris is not supported a supported platform, therefore there is no setup for installation on Solaris environments
• Therefore it is recommended (due to analogies between operating systems) to perform the installation on a Linux environment and then transfer the folder structure to the Solaris environment
• In any case, it is required to compile the JobScheduler in order to have a JobScheduler running for Solaris, see How to build the JobScheduler Engine and the JobScheduler components from the sources for Solaris.

Best Practice: Recommended Steps

Step 1: Installing JobScheduler through setup on a Linux environment

In order to have a folder structure for the later installation of JobScheduler on Solaris (without a setup), it is highly recommended to do a first installation of JobScheduler in a Linux environment. We could do that on Solaris as well, however, errors would be thrown when using the setup, since some commands are not allowed on Solaris but on Linux.

Step 2: Compiling JobScheduler sources on a Solaris machine

The third next step is compiling the JobScheduler sources on the Solaris machine. This step has to be done following the instructions on the article How to build the JobScheduler Engine and the JobScheduler components from the sources for Solaris.
