Symptom
When running BI Platform or IPS installation in an AIX or Solaris server, the installer (setup.sh) first caches the deployment units. For example:
- Deploy unit "platform.services.jobprocessing.authenticationupdateschedulingservice-4.0-core-nu" is being copied to: "/<BI_Platform_Install_Dir>/InstallData/InstallCache/"
- The resulting absolute path is:
"/<BI_Platform_Install_Dir>/InstallData/InstallCache/platform.services.jobprocessing.authenticationupdateschedulingservice-4.0-core-nu/14.0.4.738/assemblycontent.zip" - This path would then be truncated to
"/<BI_Platform_Install_Dir>/InstallData/InstallCache/platform.services.jobprocessing.authenticationupdateschedulingservice-4.0-core-nu/14.0.4.738/assemblycont"
or similar which causes the install to fail. - Installed core dumps at ~14%
- Error in setupengine.log
Error: Missing DU bundle file: /businesobjects/BO4/InstallData/InstallCache/<component>/<version>/assemblycontent.zip
