Initializing the OpenPix Software

After installing the OpenPix software, whether separately or as part of the Domain Commerce bundle installation, you need to initialize the software before you can use the OpenPix Service Manager to create a server instance.

The installation process creates an NES server instance to be used by the OpenPix Service Manager (OSM). You use this NES instance to set security and other options for the OSM. See Chapter 3 for information about setting OSM security options and using the OSM to create and manage ImageIgniter server instances.

During the initialization process, you are asked to agree to the software license terms. You must agree to the license terms before you can proceed with the installation.

You are also provided with the URL of the OSM. The URL will follow this pattern:

http://<host name>:17491/OSM

To initialize the OpenPix software

1. Change to the OpenPix Admin directory (normally /opt/ns-enterprise3/https-OpxAdm).

2. Enter ./start.

3. If you entered Yes, the URL of the OpenPix Service Manager (OSM) is displayed. You use the OSM to create and manage server instances.
