No Features to Install on this Host
The following message can appear during QXtend installation:
The information stored in the QAD Deployment Configuration Service indicates that there are no features to install on this host (xxx). If this is unexpected, you may wish to re-run the installer on a Windows or X-Platform and update the configuration. If this is correct, then continue the installer on the next host. The installer will now exit.
This message indicates that there are no installs to do on the machine on which you are running the install. You can continue the install on the servers you are using.
This message can display for a number of reasons:
• When you first run the installer on a PC in a multi-tier install, it builds the QAD Deployment Service (QADDeployService.V1), interrogates the user for configuration values (data gathering), and checks if it should also deploy on the same PC. Generally, the answer is no because you are just building the configuration data through a GUI interface, but you plan to deploy the components on a different server or servers. In this case, you can safely ignore the message and proceed.
• During QXtend.bin -i console, you were prompted for an environment to install and entered an invalid environment name. Most likely, when you ran the installer, you provided an environment name like Test, Prod, and so on. If your answer was not valid, the installer looks in the respository.xml file for an environment tag called <what you entered>. The tag is missing, resulting in “nothing to install on this Host.” If you forgot your environment name, you can check the respository.xml file for the name you provided. You can also run a GUI installer and observe the option at the environment selection screen. Then rerun the installer.
• To determine if an incorrect host name was entered, compare xxx from the error message with the result of hostname or equivalent command in a console window. When using the QXtend installer, always use the shortened host name (do not include the domain).
