Installing DiveLine

DiveLine is the Diver server component that authenticates users and provides centralized access to cBase and model data. DiveLine shares processing with various DI clients, such as Workbench, DivePort, ProDiver, NetDiver, and DiveTab. DiveLine accepts connections from clients and communicates with them by means of a proprietary protocol. DiveLine runs in the background as a service and requires a Windows user account that you or the installation wizard creates.

Note that with Diver Server 7.0, DI is building 64-bit encrypted DiveLines only.

NOTE: You need to be an administrative user to install the software.

To install DiveLine, complete the following steps:

Navigate to the DI\Solution\downloads directory.
Double-click the DiveLine-Setup.exe file.

The User Account Control dialog box opens, asking you to confirm making changes to your device.

NOTE: Depending on your Windows version and user account settings, you might see the Open File - Security Warning dialog box instead. Confirm that you want to open and run the executable.
Click Yes.

The DiveLine 7.0 Setup Wizard dialog box opens.
Review the setup instructions, and click Next.

The Installed DiveLines page displays.
Select the Install New option. This page lists any existing DiveLine installations, which you can choose to Upgrade, Modify, or Uninstall.
Click Next.

The DiveLine Paths page displays.
Accept the default values or select new ones for the following options:
- DI Solution—The default path is C:\DI\Solution.
- Port number—The default port number is 2130, but it must match the port number used in the license request. Assign unique port numbers for different environments. For example, 2131 for a Test environment.
- Dataroot directory—The default directory is dl-dataroot. If you previously installed DiveLine or have another instance, you can choose that Dataroot directory. However, sharing dataroots between environments such as test and production is not recommended.
- DI Projects directory—The default directory is C:\DI\Projects.
Click Next.

The DiveLine Service Settings page displays.
The DiveLine Service Settings dialog box is populated with default values (which you can change).
- Service Name—The default is DI-DiveLine. If you specify a port number other than the default, 2130, the port number is appended to the end of the name. For example, DI-DiveLine-2131.
- Install directory—The default is diveline. You can change this to give it a meaningful label. For example, specifying a particular DiveLine if more than one is in use.
- Service Display Name—The default is DI-DiveLine. If you specify a port number other than the default, 2130, the port number is appended to the end of the name. For example, DI-DiveLine-2131.
- Service Description—Add a service description; recommended when more than one diveline resides on a machine. The description should indicate the purpose of the DiveLine. For example, Test DiveLine.
- DiveLine Service User—Specifies which user on the machine owns the DiveLine service. Clear the Create a new Windows user check box if you have already identified a Windows user for the DiveLine service. The Windows user must have administrator rights.
  
  NOTE: A non-blank password for the Windows user is required.
- User name—The default is divelineuser. If you are not creating a new Windows user, enter the existing user name and password. If you are creating a new user, choose a user name and enter and retype a password for the account.
  
  This is the user that runs the service in the background. You can either create a new Windows user, divelineuser, on your machine to act as the DiveLine Service user, or use an existing user by clearing the Create a new Windows user check box and entering an existing Windows user name and password.
Click Next.

The DiveLine Users page displays. You must specify an Administrative user name and password and, optionally, create a test user. Be sure to re-type the password. The administrative user is needed in order to access and make configuration changes to the DiveLine server. A test account is useful for verifying access by a non-administrative user.

NOTE: If you used a preexisting Dataroot directory (see Step 7), this DiveLine Users dialog box is skipped.

Creating an administrative user enables you to log in to DiveLine. No specified user results in an inaccessible DiveLine.

A test user gives you a non-administrative user to test with. To create a test user, select the Create a test user check box, and enter a Test user name, a Test user password, and re-type the password.
Click Next.

The DiveLine Certificate page displays.
Do one of the following:
- If you do not want to create or use an encryption certificate, select Skip this step. This is not recommended.
  
  NOTE: If you select this option, users see a message similar to This site is insecure when using DiveLine to access data. If you have existing DiveLine certificates, click the ellipsis buttons to locate and select their private key files and certificate key files.
- If you do not already have an encryption certificate, fill in the following fields to create one:
  - Country code—Enter your two character country code. Click List of Country Codes to display a complete list of country codes.
  - State—Enter your state abbreviation.
  - Location—Enter a city name or other identifier.
  - Organization—Enter the name of your company or organizational name.
  - Server Name—Enter the name of the server (the machine name).
  - Email—Enter an email address.
- If you already have an encryption certificate (for example, from a previous installation), select your private key and certificate files. These files are located in the DI\Solution\<DiveLine directory>\install-files directory, and are the privatekey.txt and certificate.pem files.
Click Next.

The DiveLine License page displays. Browse for and open the license file.
Click Add License.

The Result of adding license window opens.
Click OK.

The window closes.
Click Next.

The Required Software page displays for installing Java 7 or later (if not already installed). This is required to run DIAL (Dimensional Insight Access Language) and DivePort.

NOTE: If Java already exists on your machine, it appears in the Existing Java Installation box with the Install Java check box cleared. Click Next, and proceed to Step 21.
Click Next.

The Install Java page displays.
Do the following:
- Accept or change the Java installation directory.
- Click License Agreement to open the terms of the license.
- Select the license agreement check box to accept the license terms.
- Click Install Java. This might take several minutes.
After you see the Successfully installed Java message in the Installation Result text box, click Next.
When the Ready to Install dialog box opens giving a summary of the pending DiveLine installation, click Install.
When you see the Installation Complete confirmation message, click Finish.
