Install Connect CDC - Connect_CDC - connect_cdc_mimix_share - Latest

This section gives information on using the Java Installer to install Connect CDC on IBM i platforms only. Installation must be done locally in batch mode or remotely in GUI or batch mode, that is, with the installer running on a Windows or UNIX originating host and installing onto an IBM i host. See the Installation Guide for all other platforms besides IBM i, including how to set up the originating host.

1. Gathers input describing where to install and information about the host environment.

2. Verifies information gathered in Step 1.

    Before copying any Connect CDC files, the Installer verifies the following:

   • The version of the Java Run-time Environment must be at a level acceptable for the Connect CDC executable processes.

   • The Java compiler is available wherever Connect CDC is installed.

   You receive a warning if the javac file is not available or is not in the path. Installation can continue without javac, but expressions and join tables will not function.

   • The TCP/IP port number chosen for use by the Connect CDC Listener must be available and not used or reserved by any other service. On a reconfiguration, Connect CDC Listener must be shut down prior to the reconfiguration.

   All the drivers chosen for use at a host must be accessible and supported for use by Connect CDC.

3. Configures shell scripts using input gathered in Step 1.

4. Installs the files.

   This involves copying components from the install directory to the specified directory on the host and creating the ConnectCDC subsystem.

5. Starts the Connect CDC Listener.

6. Saves the installation configuration.

This step creates the following files:

• <host>verifier.properties in the installation directory

• <host>verifier.results

• <host>.ini

This file contains the parameters values chosen for this host installation and usually resides in the /tmp directory on the host on which you are installing.

• install.log

Along with the log file created during the installation, this file serves as a record of the installation. Subsequent runs of the Installer attempt to locate this file.
