Configuring environments without the broker component installed

Install and run Java™ independent programs that use the IBM® DFDL API on systems that do not have the WebSphere® Message Broker runtime component installed.

You can run Java programs that use the IBM DFDL API on systems where you have not installed the WebSphere Message Broker runtime component, but you must ensure that you have purchased a WebSphere Message Broker license for each computer on which you intend to run Java programs that use the IBM DFDL API.

The following instructions use the Windows path separator; but apply equally to other operating systems, if you change the separator.

To install and run IBM DFDL independent programs in an environment that does not have the broker component installed, complete the following steps:

  1. Ensure that the target system has a compatible Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. Because you are not installing the WebSphere Message Broker runtime component, which includes a JRE, you must use an alternative option. For more information about Java support, see Additional software requirements.
  2. Copy the following files from a system that has the WebSphere Message Broker runtime component installed, to the target system:
    1. ibm-dfdl-java.zip from install_dir\tools, where install_dir is the directory that you specified as the installation directory for WebSphere Message Broker.
    2. Your Java independent program that uses the IBM DFDL API.
  3. On the target system, extract the contents of ibm-dfdl-java.zip to a location of your choice; for example, C:\dfdl.

    Important: Extracting the contents of ibm-dfdl-java.zip installs license and entitlement files onto the target computer for use by IBM Tivoli® License Manager (ITLM). You can use ITLM to monitor the usage of IBM (and other) software products.

    To ensure that ITLM reflects the correct license entitlement, you must choose the correct ITLM license for the edition of WebSphere Message Broker that you have purchased. For more information about WebSphere Message Broker licenses, see Operation modes.

    For more information about ITLM, see the IBM Tivoli License Manager Information Center, or the IBM Tivoli License Manager website.

Update the class path environment variable:

  1. Add all of the JAR files that are required for IBM DFDL. For example:
    set CLASSPATH = %CLASSPATH%;C:\dfdl\lib\ibm-dfdl.jar
    Repeat this step for each JAR file in your extract_dir\lib directory, where extract_dir is the directory to which you extracted ibm-dfdl-java.zip. Alternatively, to add all of the required JAR files, run the dfdlprofile utility that is provided in your extract_dir\bin directory.
  2. If you want to run and explore the IBM DFDL sample, add the dfdlsample_java.jar JAR file in your extract_dir\samples directory. For example:
    set CLASSPATH = %CLASSPATH%;C:\dfdl\samples\dfdlsample_java.jar
  3. Add your DFDL independent program JAR file.
  4. Add any other JAR files and directories that you require.
Next: You can now run your DFDL independent programs on the target computer.
