Installing Connect CDC on a remote IBM i host entails issuing IBM i commands from the Installer connected to the host as a client. The procedure involves doing a binary transfer of a number of files to a target installation directory on the IBM i.
When the Installer is run remotely in this manner it runs on the host in the queue QUSRWRK under the user QUSER with a job name of QZRCSRVS.
The installation files, listed below, are packaged together in one file, named install.zip. To list the contents of install.zip without unpacking, enter the following command:
jar tvf install.zip|

The installation steps are:
-
Copy install.zip from the CD to a writeable directory on the originating host where the Installer is to be run. When FTPing install.zip across a network, do a BINARY transfer of the file.
-
Unpack the installation files (listed above) on the installing host. The command to unpack depends on the platform of the originating host.
-
On a UNIX platform, issue the command:
jar xvf install.zip
-
On a Windows platform, use WinZip or another similar program orjar xvf install.zip.
-
-
Execute the Batch or GUI Installer.
