Writing a New Digital Chapter: How HarperCollins is Creating New Connections with its Digital Readers

Technical Support Intern • Strategy

The world of publishing is now seeing the same transformational impacts from the digital revolution that have so profoundly reshaped other media and entertainment sectors in recent years. As digital formats account for a growing proportion of book sales, publishers are looking for ways to market and distribute their titles directly to consumers and to create deeper, direct relationships with their readers. With its new direct to consumer digital platform, HarperCollins, one of the largest trade publishers in the world, is at the forefront of capturing the exciting new possibilities that digital is introducing to publishing.

Certification Status
Strategy has tested and certified the usage of the Amazon Linux Operating System for Strategy Intelligence Server versions 10.4 Hotfix 5 (and higher Hotfixes on 10.4) and 10.9. This status currently applies to 10.4 Hotfix 5, 10.4 Hotfix 6 and 10.9 for the Amazon Linux Operating System - it does not apply to Strategy Secure Enterprise 10.4 though Hotfix 4.
This is a Post-Certification since the testing was performed after the release of Strategy Secure Enterprise 10.4 and 10.9. Therefore, the certification information is not present in the Strategy Secure Enterprise 10.4 or 10.9 Readme file. In order to utilize Amazon Linux as an Operating System, an upgrade must be performed on the Strategy components from the initial 10.4 installations up to at least Hotfix 5 before the configuration and usage of the system. Since this is a Post-Certification an additional step is required during the installation procedure for Amazon Linux only.
Note: Amazon Linux is listed as a certified operating system in the Strategy Secure Enterprise 10.10 readme.
Steps for Installation on Amazon Linux
The Strategy Secure Enterprise 10.4 installation package includes a check for the Operating System of the machine that the installation is being executed on. Since this installation package was developed before the Post-Certification of Amazon Linux a flag can be used with the installation package to allow for the installation of Strategy Secure Enterprise.
When executing the installation with a GUI element for the installation of 10.4 GA on Amazon Linux, the flag -nocheck can be added to allow for the successful installation and would have the following command syntax:


./setup.sh -nocheck

When executing the installation through the terminal if the GUI is not available for 10.4 GA on Amazon Linux, the same flag can be used and be included before the console flag and would have the command syntax:


./setup.sh -nocheck -console

Important note for Strategy on AWS
For users who are utilizing Strategy on AWS, this is also included for the provisioning of a new environment where Strategy Secure Enterprise 10.4 Hotfix 5 and 6 are available with the Operating System Amazon Linux.
