HCL OneTest™ API on Linux™ systems

Understand the considerations that apply to install HCL OneTest™ API on Linux™ systems.

Installation settings

Before you install HCL OneTest™ API on Linux™ systems, ensure that umask is set to 0022 so that the HCL®IBMIMShared directory and the files in the installation folder are created with the correct permissions. On RedHat Enterprise Linux™, by default, the umask is set to 0077 and only users with root permission can run HCL OneTest™ API. This restriction also applies to setting up the license server. Start IBM® Installation Manager to begin the installation only after you set the umask to 0022.

The IBMIMShared directory is created only if this is the first use of installing a product with IBM® Installation Manager, otherwise the currently used IMShared directory is used.

User permissions

The administrative user who installs the software must have write permissions to the installation directory, for example, /opt/IBM.
