DAC and serverSetupPrompt.sh

There is no DAC Server setup on Unix platform. You need to setup the Analytics client on the Windows Machine first and then move the DAC folder to the Unix platform. After the DAC folder is moved and if you try to run any of the .sh script, you may see some wired behavior. For Example, when you try to run the serverSetupPrompt.sh, you may see the following error.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/siebel/etl/gui/login/TextModeServerSetup

If you try to run other .sh file, you may notice that environment variables are not setup correctly.

When you move the DAC folder to Unix, you need to make sure to run the dos2unix utility to remove CR+LF characters from all the .sh files. If you do not run dos2unix utility, then none of the .sh file will work on the Unix platform as expected. You can download the dos2unix utility from http://www.download3k.com/Install-Dos2Unix.html
