Linux

FICO® Xpress Insight Server requires that some software be installed on your Linux system prior to installation. Xpress Insight Server only supports running against a database on the same machine. It is recommended to set the following environment variables before installation:
  • XPRESSDIR to point to the Xpress directory. The Xpress installer outputs instructions on how to set related environment variables.
  • JAVA_HOME set to point to your Java installation.
  • If a custom data directory is used for PostgreSQL then set the PGDATA environment variable to point to this directory.

FICO® Xpress Insight Execution Worker

The core Xpress software (which is a separate installer package) must be installed and properly licensed prior to installing the Xpress Insight Execution Worker on a machine. Each execution worker can run on a separate machine, and you can configure as many as are required subject to licensing arrangements.

Windows

The Xpress Insight software components will be added to the installation folder of the Xpress software. Xpress Insight version 4.51 requires Xpress version 8.7.

Linux

At the end of the FICO Xpress installation, instructions are provided on setting up environment variables for Xpress. Follow these steps to set the XPRESSDIR environment variable, which the Xpress Insight Execution Worker installer will use as the base directory for installation.
