Installing Hyperic HQ Server and the LiveCycle Plugins

Follow these steps to install and configure the Hyperic HQ Server and LiveCycle plugins:

  1. Verify that the computer meets the Hyperic HQ Server requirements. See HQ Server Requirements.

  2. Hyperic HQ Server comes with a small built-in database. For a large deployment, consider using an external database. See this document from Hyperic: Before You Start: If You Are Using an External Database.

    Note: If you are using the built-in Hyperic HQ database, make sure is it running before starting HQ Server.

  3. Download the open source Hyperic HQ Server package from http://www.hyperic.com/downloads/hyperic-hq-open-source-downloads.

  4. Install Hyperic HQ Server. For details on the Hyperic HQ installation process, see Installing the Agent and Server from a Tarball or Zip Archive.

  5. Start HQ Server as described at the end of the install process.

  6. Install the LiveCycle Plugins for Hyperic HQ:

    1. In the same folder where server-4.4.0 is located (typically the c:\Program Files folder), create a folder named hq-plugins.

    2. Restart HQ Server so that it picks up the new hq-plugins folder.

    3. In your LiveCycle installation DVD or download, go to \thirdparty\additional\HypericHQPlugin and copy the plugin files. Paste the files into the c:\Program Files\hq-plugins folder.
