Running a platform installer

To run an installer, you can:

  1. Right-click on the installer, and choose Run..., or
  2. Select one installer and choose Actions > Run... from the main menu.

    The Run Platform Installer job window will appear. This window provides the option to schedule the task to run at a specified time with no recurrence and to set up email notifications.

    After the job is started, the installer determines what changes must occur in your mesh and creates a series of steps.

    Some steps can be executed only once (such as ‘Add the new platform to the Truth’), and other steps must be run on multiple machines in your mesh/core configuration (such as ‘Add support to the Agent Deployment Tool’).

    • By selecting each step, you will be able to see the captured stdout and stderr files. If a step must be run on multiple machines, its corresponding node in the job result window will have one child for each machine.
    • By selecting that child node, you will be able to see the stdout and stderr files that resulted by running the step on that particular machine.
