Installing on AIX

 Top  Previous  Next

Prior to installation it is recommended that you review the Installation components section to determine what components you will require.

 

ZIP Console Installation

 

JSCAPE MFT Gateway Server

 

To install using the ZIP file perform the following steps as a user with root privileges.

 

1.Place the gateway_install.zip file in a directory on the destination server.

 

2.Install. Run the following commands from the directory containing the ZIP file you placed on your server:

 

unzip gateway_install.zip

 

3.AIX systems are typically configured to run the IBM JVM, therefore it is necessary to make some changes to the etc/ssl.cfg file in order to instruct the JVM on what security provider and encryption algorithm to use for starting up the JSCAPE MFT Gateway Service. See Running under IBM JVM for complete details and instructions.
 
4.Configure and initialize database. Go to the JSCAPE MFT Gateway installation directory relative to where the tar command was executed, and run the following commands:
 
./database -configure
 
./database -init
 
5.Add administrative user. Go to the JSCAPE MFT Gateway installation directory relative to where the tar command was executed, and run the following command:

 

./add-administrator -username [username] -password [password] -email [email]

 

For example:

 

./add-administrator -username admin -password secret -email admin@jscape.com

 

This will configure JSCAPE MFT Gateway, where [username] and [password] are the administrative credentials you will use when connecting to the service.

 

6.Startup Administration Service.   From the JSCAPE MFT Gateway installation directory run the following command:

 

./gateway start

 

or

 

./start_service.sh

 

 

JSCAPE MFT Gateway Agent

 

1. Place the gateway_agent_install.zip file in a directory on the destination server.

 

2. Install. Run the following command from the directory containing the ZIP file you placed on your server:

 

unzip gateway_agent_install.zip

 

3. AIX systems are typically configured to run the IBM JVM, therefore it is necessary to make some changes to the etc/ssl.cfg file in order to instruct the JVM on what security provider and encryption algorithm to use for starting up the JSCAPE MFT Gateway Service. See Running under IBM JVM for complete details and instructions.

 

4. Enable control channel for JSCAPE MFT Gateway Server.  See Control channel settings for details.

 

5. Set agent connection settings. See Adding agents for details. Go to the JSCAPE MFT Gateway Agent installation directory relative to where the unzip command was executed, and run the following command:

 

./agent-configuration -host [ip] -port [port] -user [username] -password [password]

 

For example:

 

./agent-configuration -host 10.0.0.1 -port 30025 -user admin -password secret

 

This will configure JSCAPE MFT Gateway Agent, where [ip] and [port]are the control channel IP and port for JSCAPE MFT Gateway Server and [username] and [password] are administrative credentials you will use when connecting to the control channel.

 

6. Startup JSCAPE MFT Gateway Agent Service.  From the JSCAPE MFT Gateway Agent installation directory run the following command:
 

./agent start
