Pre-Installation Setup

This section provides information about pre-installation setup considerations for running StarTeam Server on Linux.

Environment Variables

Prior to installing StarTeam Server or StarTeam Server components, set the following environment variables:

ipaddress and host name

For Linux 32- and 64-bit, add one extra line under the /etc/hosts including:

IP-Address Fully-Qualified-Hostname-With.Domain.Name Host-Name

JAVA_HOME

Environment variable to point to JDK or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8.0_161+.

For Oracle

NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
ORACLE_HOME=[Oracle home directory]
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH:

For PostgreSQL

PATH=C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin;$PATH

Run the following command as root to make the StarTeam Server user account a member of the Oracle group used to install the Oracle client:

/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G oinstall starteam_user_name

where oinstall is the default Oracle group name and starteam_user_name is the StarTeam Server user account.
