Insightful Clinical Graphics Server Installation for UNIX

The following instructions assume that all components will be installed on the same server, and that you have already installed and configured the S-PLUS Enterprise Server for UNIX (on a separate CD). We recommend that you follow these steps in the order shown to ensure a successful installation. If you encounter problems or need additional information about customizing your Insightful Clinical Graphics Server installation, try one of the following:

Supported Platforms

Insightful Clinical Graphics (iCG) Server is supported on the following platforms:

  1. Sun Solaris 8, 9, 10 (32-bit SPARC)
  2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5, SUSE 10 (32/64-bit, X86/X86-64)
  3. HP-UX 11i PA-RISC (64-bit)

System Requirements

Minimum recommended system requirements:

  1. 188 MB disk space to install the S-PLUS Enterprise Server.
  2. 244 MB disk space to install the Insightful Clinical Graphics Server.
  3. One or more 1 GHz processors

    Note these figures are in addition to the disk space required for Apache Tomcat and the JRE (both are installed as part of the S-PLUS Enterprise Server).

Insightful Clinical Graphics Server Installation

  1. Stop Apache Tomcat

    Run the following from a shell prompt:

    SPSERVERHOME/init.d/tomcat stop where SPSERVERHOME is the S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Server installation directory.

  2. Install the Insightful Clinical Graphics Server

    Please Note: The installation steps should be run after logging into the system as the root user

    Run Install_ICG.bin located at the top level of your Insightful Clinical Graphics CD.
    Note: The Path to the Java VM specified as part of the installation should be the absolute path to the java executable. e.g. /opt/IFUL/jre1.5.0_12/bin/java

  3. Run ResignICGClient.bat to re-sign the files

    Note: The ClickOnce installation used in your Windows-based iCG client requires access to a Windows machine with .NET 2.0 SDK installed. To determine the system requirements (e.g., you must install .NET 2.0 Framework or higher before installing the SDK) and install .NET 2.0 SDK, follow this link.

    ResignICGClient.bat must be run on this Windows machine, which must have XP, 2003 Server, or Vista installed to re-sign (e.g., Windows Server 2000 does not have a Internet Zone Security setting (reg.exe), and thus cannot be used to re-sign the files).

    Copy ICG_HOME/client and all files below (where ICG_HOME is your iCG installation directory) from your server to a directory on the Windows machine. Run ICG_HOME/client/tools/ResignICGClient.bat, and then copy the files back to the same directory on the server.

  4. Modify SplusServer.xml for iCG Support

    Edit CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/SplusServer.xml, where CATALINA_HOME is your Apache Tomcat installation directory. Set the value of splus.init.file to point to ICG_HOME/init-icg.ssc (default is /opt/IFUL/ICG/init-icg.ssc):

    <Environment name="splus.init.file"
                 value="/opt/IFUL/ICG/init-icg.ssc"
                 type="java.lang.String"
                 override="false"/>
    

    Note: If you need to run your iCG Server disconnected from the Insightful network, please obtain a License Authorization Code (LAC) and fulfill your license file request. See http://keys.insightful.com/ for more information on license key fulfillment.

    Be sure to adjust any other properties (e.g., splus.verbose.log) to match your configuration.

  5. Start the daemons:

    Run the following from a shell prompt:

    SPSERVERHOME/init.d/tomcat start (where SPSERVERHOME is the S-PLUS 8 Enterprise Server installation directory).

    ICG_HOME/init.d/infocenter start (where ICG_HOME is your iCG installation directory).

    Note: You may need to adjust the paths if you did not install to the default locations.

Your iCG Server should now be installed and correctly configured. If you experience difficulties or have any questions, please consult Technical Support (listed above).

Uninstalling iCG Server

Run ICG_HOME/Uninstall_ICG/Uninstall_ICG to uninstall.
