Pega717 install failing w/ Unable to read Properties.txt error
SA-9113
Summary
When the user runs the Pega7.1.7 installation, they are getting "Unable to read" error message.
Error Messages
ERROR - Unable to read Properties.txt from temp directory : /x/web/STAGE/installerapp/pegainstaller/prpc717installer/install_scripts/TEMP/PegaInstallTemp-18-April-2015-13.25.36/Properties.txt
Steps to Reproduce
1. Run generateddl.sh script and run these scripts.
2. In setupDatabase.properties file set
bypass.pega.schema=true
bypass.udf.generation=true
3. Run ./install.sh
Root Cause
Some changes need to be made in the scripts/setupDatabase.xml file.
Resolution
In the scripts directory of the media, save a copy of the setupDatabase.xml file that comes along with the media. Edit the setupDatabase.xml file to comment out lines 1486-1487 and 1489-1490. Leave line 1488 unchanged.
This will make it so the "Generate DDL" section will not be bypassed and the Properties.txt file will be written to the temp directory for use further on in the installation process. It will still skip the applying of the DDL section.
