I can't find script install_root.sh anywhere to start dbimport phase

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am installing E-Sourcing on Solaris SPARC. I installed and configured E-Sourcing successfully ( I got the message that they finished successfully). But now I can't find script install_root.xml anywhere to run the db import.

Any help ?

Thanks very much in advance.

It's an old thread but still applicable for sourcing 9.0. I was able to find the xml inside the jar file.

Sorry, I mean: I can't find file install_root.xml to start the db import phase

Hello Mauricio,

Path to run DBImport is "\Esourcing51\bin\DBImport.sh"

after running the DBImport you need to navigate through dropdown list in DBImport window to get install_root.xml .

Note: You will not get this file by clicking on browsing, you need to click on dropdown list and select the path given in Installation Guide.

Hi Ankush,

I did that but when looking for file install_root.xml, it is not on anywhere. The guide says to look for it at fciinstall.jar/scripts/product/install_root.xml (below).

On the Setup tab of the DB importer, use the file picker to browse to and choose

fciinstall.jar/scripts/product/install_root.xml.

I tried to find it (find . -name install_root.xml -print) under the esourcing51 dir and also on the install dir but didn't find it.

Ideas ?

Thanks so much.

For the bebefit of the community, here is how you need to do this

The UI is a bit weird, so here we go...

Solution

you need to use the dropdown list and not go directly to the file system.

So once you pick the control it opens a file picker window. You should see the word Desktop in the window using the arrow next to Desktop scroll down until you see the fciinstall.jar. select this then scriptsà productà install_root.xml
