Download and extract CCMS Output Generator files

The first task when you install a new IXIA CCMS Output Generator is to extract the IXIA CCMS Output Generator files.

Note: Throughout this document, the %OutputGenDir% expression will be used to represent the Output Generator directory.

To download and extract IXIA CCMS Output Generator files:

  1. On the CCMS Output Generator server, create a directory for the CCMS Output Generator install. 
    (Windows) C:\Ixiasoft\OutputGenerators\Prod
(Linux) /opt/ixiasoft/OutputGenerators/Prod
    Note: You must have the following permissions on the directory:
    • (Windows) Read and write permissions
    • (Linux) Read, write, and execute permissions (750)
  2. Download and unzip the package:
    1. Go to the CCMS_7.3 folder of the MadCap Software Downloads site:

      https://cms.ixiasoft.com/downloads/

    2. Open the CCMS_OutputGenerator folder.
    3. Click the link to the latest build version of the CCMS Output Generator.
      The following files are listed:
      • outputgenerator-[version]_bin.zip
      • outputgenerator-[version]_conf.zip
  3. Extract both of the zip files to the %OutputGenDir% directory so that the unzipped files are in that one folder.
  4. Delete the .zip files from the directory.
