Following are the operating system and software requirements for the Remote
Agent.
This guide assumes that your site is the hub site and that you are running
the full InterChange Server system on Windows 2000. However, Remote
Agent does not require that the hub and spoke sites use the same
platform. The spoke site with which you communicate can be using one of
the following platforms:
- Windows 2000, Service Pack 4
- UNIX with Solaris 7.0 or 8.0 at the current patch level
- Note:
- Most adapters can run on Windows 2000 or UNIX, but some can run only on
specific operating systems. Consult the individual adapter
documentation for details.
The hub site requires that the following ICS components be installed:
- InterChange Server version 4.x.x
- Connector controllers that correspond to connector agents at the spoke
sites
- WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 Server
- WebSphere MQ Internet Pass Through (MQIPT), which is used for the
HTTP/HTTPS configuration option.
- IBM Java ORB and its Transient Naming Service
- Note:
- The IBM Java ORB and its Transient Naming Service are installed automatically
by Installer. For more information, see "Configuring the Object Request Broker".
The spoke sites do not require installation of the InterChange Server
system but require installation of the following components:
- One or more connector agents that correspond to connector
controllers installed at the hub site
- WebSphere MQ 5.3.0.2 Server
- WebSphere MQ Internet Pass Through (MQIPT), which is used for HTTP/HTTPS
configuration option.
Create the MQ_LIB environment variable and set its value to the
path of the Java\lib directory. For example:
- Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere
MQ\Java\lib
- AIX: /usr/mqm/java/lib
- Solaris: /opt/mqm/java/lib
