Installing in an offline environment

If the machine on which you run the deploy process has an internet connection, the deployment tooling automatically downloads the required prerequisites for you. If the machine does not have an internet connection, you need to supply the required prerequisites manually.

Updating the prerequisites

Occasionally, it might be necessary to supply updated versions of the prerequisites listed above (if a critical security patch is required, for example). In this instance, you can supply the updated prerequisite in the locations described above.

Apply prerequisites using the i2 Explore Administration Console

  1. Click the Clean button.

    Note: You are prompted to provide database administrator credentials.

  2. Click the Deploy button.

    Note: You are prompted to provide database administrator credentials.

Apply prerequisites using the command line

From the <installation_location>/analyze-deployment-tooling directory, run:

  1. setup -t clean -u <username> -p <password>, where <username> and <password> are database administrator credentials

  2. setup -t deploy -u <username> -p <password>, where <username> and <password> are database administrator credentials
