Create the <host_name>.properties file - Connect_CDC - connect_cdc_mimix_share

Define a separate .properties file for the host listed in the host.list file where <host_name> is the name of the host machine to install Connect CDC. Each .properties file must be located in the current directory where the installer is running. Below is a sample .properties file named install_LTIAS03.properties for the host named LTIAS03. For usage notes, refer to Usage Notes for the .properties file. For keyword definitions, refer to Keywords for the <host_name>.properties file.

# Omni Installation Properties

HOST_PASS=******   (comment: provide actual password)
HOST_NAME=LTIAS03

Note: In the example shown above, The System i5 driver is installed automatically, as designated by NUM_DRIVERS=0. However, you can make an explicit specification for the driver, specified in place of NUM_DRIVERS=0, as shown below:

NUM_DRIVERS=1
DRIVER_ID_1=JTOpen400>
DRIVER_CLASSPATH_1=../jarfiles (my comment: since installer installs driver file this is a relative pointer to its location)

Table 1. Keywords or Input Parameters for the host.list file
Keyword or Input Parameter	Description
Remote	One of the following: N–indicates the install will occur locally where the Installer program is running. This is the default. Y–indicates the Installer program will install on a different host than where the installer is running. The originating host is a different host machine than the recipient host. This remote keyword affects all installing hosts defined later in the host.list file until another remote keyword is specified.
Reconfigure	One of the following: N–indicates the installer must perform a full install of Connect CDC. This is the default. Y indicates that hosts have an existing Connect CDC installation and need to be reconfigured. This reconfigure keyword affects all hosts defined later in the host.list file until another reconfigure keyword is specified.
host_filename = HOST_TYPE	Defines host (recipient host) on which to install Connect CDC. host_filename–identifies the properties file containing the installation parameters for installing to one host. host_filename plus .properties comprises the properties filename. In the example above, there would be two property files names named vector.properties and mountain.properties. HOST_TYPE–the recipient host operating system type. Valid operating system type is OS400. (See the Installation Guide for other types.)

Table 2. Keywords for the <host_name>.properties file
Keyword	Description
HOST_NAME	Network name or IP address of the host to install on.
HOST_USER	Required only for remote installs. Name of the remote user on the host that “owns” the installation. This user does the remote connect and should either own the directory where Connect CDC is being installed or have permission to write to this directory.
HOST_PASS	Required only for remote installs. Password associated with HOST_USER. Leave blank or enter <PROMPT> if you prefer to be prompted rather than save your password in a file.
JAVA_PATH	Directory where the Java executables are located on the recipient host. JAVA_PATH is required when installing to a remote host .
INSTALL_CD	Directory location of the omni.zip installation file. The Installer requires the current working directory to be writable.
INSTALL_DIRECTORY	Directory on the installing host where Connect CDC will be installed.
LISTENER_PORT	TCP/IP port number to be reserved for Connect CDC Listener. Enter NONE if the installer is to skip the installation of the data movement kernel and Connect CDC Listener.
INITIAL_MEMORY	Initial memory setting of the Java heap memory (default, 32). On IBM i, the number specifies the threshold at which the Java Virtual Machine begins collecting allocated memory no longer referenced and setting the memory as free and available.
MAXIMUM_MEMORY	If you enter any other value than *NOMAX, it is interpreted as a maximum memory setting.
SSL_AUTH	Flag of either “Y” or “N” that indicates whether SSL authentication is to be used. A “Y” value means that –Dssla will be passed to Connect CDC Listener.
SSL_ENCR	Flag of either “Y” or “N” that indicates whether SSL encryption is to be used. A “Y” value means that –Dssle will be passed to Connect CDC Listener.
INSTALL_CLIENT	Flag of either Y for yes or N for No, indicating whether to install the Connect CDC Console and Connect CDC Consoletools.
NUM_DRIVERS	On IBM i,specify 0 for NUM_DRIVERS. Connect CDCautomatically installs the driver.
DRIVER_ID_n	On IBM i,do not specify a DRIVER_ID for the JTOpen400 JDBC driver. Connect CDCautomatically installs the driver.
DRIVER_CLASSPATH_n	On IBM i, do not specify a DRIVER_CLASSPATH for the JTOpen400 JDBC driver. Connect CDC automatically installs the driver.
COMMAND_LIBRARY	Name of an IBM i Command library. This library is used by the installer to contain 2 command language programs, OMNIL and OMNIC. The former is a program that can be called to start the Connect CDC Listener, and the latter is a program that can be called to run the Connect CDC Console. The installer creates this library if it does not already exist, and then creates a file called COMMANDS, if it does not already exist. The installer copies into COMMANDS the files that contain the command language source for the two programs and then generates the two programs.
TARGET_ONLY	Enter Y or N, depending on whether this is a target-only installation.
TRANSLATE_BINARY	Enter Y, unless you have been specifically advised by your support/services engineer.
INSTALL_JETTY	On IBM i, specify N.
INSTALL_LIBRARY	Library where the Delete Journal Receiver exit program is to be installed. This library MUST be the same as the Change Selector install library (for example, OMNIENT). The Change Selector install library is specified on the server Properties window.
