ODI Server install - missing odiparams.sh file

Published by in Odi, Oui, Unix at https://rmoff.net/2009/03/27/odi-server-install-missing-odiparams.sh-file/

I’m installing ODI agent on our database server using OUI. I selected the “Server” option at install time to get the Agent only, but looking in oracledi/bin odiparams.sh is missing:

$ls -l *.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 odiadm dba 685 Nov 21 15:58 agent.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 odiadm dba 908 Nov 21 15:58 agentscheduler.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 odiadm dba 707 Nov 21 15:58 agentstop.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 odiadm dba 941 Nov 21 15:58 agentweb.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 odiadm dba 724 Nov 21 15:58 jython.sh

My understanding was that odiparams.sh was necessary, and looking at the code for agent.sh it must be as it includes:

. $ODI_HOME/bin/odiparams.sh

Checking the manual it’s possible to install ODI simply by unzipping the installation folder, so I copied the rest of the bin directoy from the original installation.

I then edited the odiparams.sh as required, and the agent started fine.
