installKxPlatform.sh

installKxPlatform.sh is the core installation script. The script can executed manually, where the user can respond to a series of prompts to configure a deployment. The script can also be executed in non-interactive mode by providing an Install config file.

Install script renamed

As of version 4.6.0 of the KX Platform, the core install script has been renamed from installDeltaXML.sh -> installKxPlatform.sh.

installDeltaXML.sh will continue to be used for Platform deployments pre 4.6.0 release.
