Completing the Quick Start Configuration

After you install SPD Server, navigate to the /site subdirectory (relative to the directory where you installed SPD Server), and do the following to complete the quick installation of your server:
  1. Verify that the WORKPATH statement in your spdsserv.parm file is valid. If the WORKPATH statement is incorrect, edit your spdsserv.parm file.
  2. Verify that the pathname for libname=tmp in the libnames.parm file is valid. If the pathname is not correct, edit the libnames.parm file.
  3. Initialize the SPD Server Password Manager Database by invoking the pwdb script by doing the following:
    1. At the Enter command> prompt, enter groupdef.
    2. At the Enter group name to define> prompt, enter admingrp.
    3. At the Enter command> prompt, enter add to add yourself as an administrator.
    4. Choose a user name of up to eight alphanumeric characters, and choose a temporary password of six to eight alphanumeric characters that uses at least one numeral.
    5. Assign yourself an authorization level of 7 for maximum permissions, and then assign yourself to the admingrp group. Press Enter to use default settings for the remaining prompts.
    6. To change your password to a permanent password, enter chgpass at the command> prompt and follow the instructions.
    7. To exit the password manager utility, enter quit at the Enter command> prompt.
  4. Start SPD Server by executing the rc.spds script. Use the UNIX PS command to verify that SPD Server is running.
    If SPD Server is running, you should see the following processes:
    • spdserv
    • spdsbase
    • spdssnet
    • spdsnsrv
    You should also see several spdslog processes.
    If SPD Server is not running, review the SPD Server log at InstallDir/log/spdsserv*spdslog for any errors.
    After you correct any start-up errors, end all running SPD Server processes, and then restart the software by using the rc.spds script.
