Remedy Action Request System (ARS) non-root install on Solaris

Setting the Action Request System Non-root install environment variables

Just because it came up today I thought I’d put in a quick note about this.  I am currently in the process (along with others) of installing a few new non-root Remedy systems.

When you install Remedy on Solaris (and other Unix variants) as non-root you have to set the following environment variable:

ARNONROOTINSTALL=TRUE

I forget to set this every time I do this – go figure.   Fortunately it’s pretty easy to do – you can either edit the .profile and add the line above or simply enter this at the command line for the Remedy install user:

export ARNONROOTINSTALL=TRUE

Very simple – apparently the hard part is remembering to do it…
