Prior to installation it is recommended that you review the Installation components section to determine what components you will require. Installation instructions for each component are provided below.

ZIP Console Installation

To install using the ZIP file perform the following steps as a user with root privileges. If you plan on running JSCAPE MFT Gateway as a non-root user under Solaris 10 or above, please consult the topic Auto-starting in Solaris 10 environments topic before continuing.

JSCAPE MFT Gateway Server

1.	Place the gateway_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_install.zip

3.	Configure and initialize database. Go to the JSCAPE MFT Gateway installation directory relative to where the unzip command was executed, and run the following commands:

./database -configure

./database -init

4.	Add administrative user. Go to the JSCAPE MFT Gateway installation directory relative to where the unzip 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.

5.	Startup JSCAPE MFT Gateway Service. If you are auto-starting using an SMF script you may skip this step. From the JSCAPE MFT Gateway installation directory run the following command:

./gateway start

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

4. 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.

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

./agent start
