To successfully install
an application adapter from the Adapter Capacity Pack, you and your
system must meet the following prerequisites:
The installation GUI supplied with the Adapter
Capacity Pack installs only one adapter at a time (thus, you must
run the Adapter Capacity Pack installer separately for each adapter
you want to install). For a list of adapters, refer to the section Deciding which adapter to install.
- Select the button labeled Install Capacity Pack from
the left column of the Launchpad.
The Install Capacity Pack screen appears with two buttons.
- Select Install Adapter Capacity Pack to
launch the GUI to install an application adapter from the Adapter
Capacity Pack.
The Input User screen appears.
- On the Input User screen, type the name of the user who will
instal the Adapter Capacity Pack, and then select Install Products.
A dialog appears, which requests that you insert the appropriate
CD into the machine.
The welcome screen appears.
- At the welcome screen, select Next.
The Software License Agreement screen appears.
- Read and accept the terms of the Software License Agreement
by selecting the radio button beside the entry I accept the terms in the license agreement,
then select Next.
The installer checks that the prerequisites listed at the beginning
of this section have been met. If any have not been met, it forces
you to cancel the installation by selecting the Cancel button.
If all prerequisites have been met, the feature screen appears.
-
On the feature screen, select
one adapter from the list of available adapters, by selecting the
radio button beside its name, then select Next.
For more information about which adapter to select, see the section Deciding which adapter to install.
One of the following screens appears:
- If the InterChange Server Express is installed on the local
machine, a pre-installation summary screen appears. In this case,
proceed to Step 9.
- If the InterChange Server Express exists on a remote machine,
the Server IP Address Configuration screen appears. In this case,
proceed to Step 7.
-
On the Server IP Address
Configuration screen, type the IP address of the computer on which
you have installed InterChange Server Express. If the InterChange
Server Express is on an OS/400 or i5/OS system, select the check
box beside the entry InterChange Server Express is on OS/400,
then select Next.
One of the following screens appear:
- If you selected the check box beside the entry InterChange Server
Express is on OS/400 or i5/OS, the Server Name Configuration screen
appears. In this case, proceed to Step 8.
- If you did not select the check box beside the entry InterChange
Server Express is on OS/400 or i5/OS, proceed to Step 9.
-
On the Server Name Configuration screen,
do the following:
- Type the name of the InterChange Server Express instance on
the OS/400 or i5/OS system. (The default is QWBIDFT44. If you created a different name for your instance, type
it instead.)
- Type the ORB port number. (The default is 14500. If you used a different port number, type it instead.)
Then select Next.
A pre-installation summary screen appears.
-
On the pre-installation summary
screen, review your selection and installation location and select Next.
The installer verifies that enough disk space exists for the
installation. Installation then proceeds, as follows:
- If enough space does not exist, the Next button
is disabled since installation cannot be completed with the provided
disk space. In this case, you must select Back and
free some space on the specified drive.
- If enough space does exist, installation and configuration begin.
A post-installation summary screen appears, which indicates if the
process was successful or if problems were encountered.
- On the post-installation summary screen, select Finish to
exit the installation GUI.
Running the Adapter Capacity Pack installer
allows you to choose one adapter component from the following:
Some adapters have corresponding Object Discovery
Agents (ODAs), which are installed if those adapters are selected.
With any adapter selection, the following components are also installed:
- XML Data Handler
- Adapter Framework
