Issue/Introduction

How can it be determined where the dSeries product is installed?

Resolution

For UNIX/Linux:

• For Linux, some distributions provide a utility called locate.
  Try using this utility and search for startESP
  
  Example:
  [root@localhost ~]# locate startESP
  /opt/CA/ESPdSeries/12.4/bin/startESP
  
  
• If locate is unavailable, then use the UNIX find command like:
  
  [root@localhost ~]# find / -name startESP -print 2>/dev/null
  /opt/CA/ESPdSeries/12.2/bin/startESP
  
  

Hint: Once the location has been determined, to make it easier to get there in the future, create an alias in the user's profile.

Example: Below is an example of a user's .bash_profile

===========================================
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/CA/ESPdSeries/12.4/bin

export PATH

#Setup Aliases
alias DE_ROOT='cd /opt/CA/ESPdSeries/12.4'  (Do not include the bin directory in the path)
===========================================

Now, whenever the user logs in, enter DE_ROOT at the command prompt and it will change to the dSeries installation directory.

 

For Windows:

• Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services
• Right-click the
  ESP dSeries Workload Automation
  service, and select Properties from the drop-down list.
  Note: The service name could be different depending on version of the product, or business requirements.
• On the General tab of the Service Properties panel, look for Path to executable
