2. Install the 'rpm' file on a Linux system by issuing the following command:

rpm -Uvh <filename>
We have tested the installer with CentOS 5.3/5.4 versions. Installer should be compatible with any Linux distributions supporting RPM installations.

3. The configuration directory of the application is --

/usr/local/avenda/datapuller/etc
4. After the installation, edit the "datapuller.conf" in the configuration directory to provide the following details :

-- eTIPS/CPPM Server IP Address (only one node in the cluster is required)
-- Administration username [UI username 'admin']
-- Administration password

If required create a separate External Data Puller Service account with Super Administrator privileges on the eTIPS Administration.

5. Restart the "avenda-ext-backup" Service.

/sbin/service avenda-ext-backup restart
6. Once the service is up and running, it downloads the configuration backup files from the eTIPS clusters and stores them in the following directory.

"/var/avenda/datapuller/downloads/config-info/"

This location can be altered by modifying the "datacollector.conf" in the config directory.

This location can be altered by modifying the "datacollector.conf" in the config directory.


Once setup, this service periodically downloads the configuration database.
