Installing Replication Server on RHEL 8 ppc64le v7

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

• Install Java (version 1.8 or later) on your server, if not present.

  Toggle WrapCopy

  sudo dnf -y install java

  Note

  When Replication Server is installed on a machine where Java is not present, the JDK is installed as part of the installation process. Since in this case the JDK was installed via Replication Server as its dependency, if you subsequently remove the JDK, Replication Server is also removed.

  If Java 1.8 or greater exists before installing Replication Server, the installed Replication Server is not removed on removal of the JDK.

• Set up the repository

  Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you do not need to perform this step.

  To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

• Address other prerequisites

  Toggle WrapCopy

  # Install the EPEL repository:
  sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
  
  # Refresh the cache:
  sudo dnf makecache

Install the package

You can install all Replication Server components with a single install command, or you may choose to install selected, individual components by installing only those particular packages.

To install all Replication Server components:

sudo dnf  -y install edb-xdb

To install an individual component:

sudo dnf  -y install <package_name>

Where <package_name> is:
