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 Server as a non-root user under Solaris 10 or above, please consult the topic Auto-starting in Solaris 10 environments topic before continuing.

 

1.  Place the 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 install.zip

 

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

 

./js-database-configuration -configure

 

./js-database-configuration -init

 

4.  Add an administrative user.  Go to the JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory, located in the JSCAPE_MFT_Server directory relative to where the unzip command was executed, and run the following command:

 

./js-addadmin -db -username [username] -password [password] -sa

 

For example

 

./js-addadmin -db -username admin -password secret -sa

 

 

5.  Configure Administration Service.  Go to the /opt/JSCAPE_MFT_Server directory and run the following command:

 

./js-server-configuration -host [ip address] -port [port] -timeout [timeout in seconds]

 

For example:

 

./js-server-configuration -host 0.0.0.0 -port 10880 -timeout 60

 

This will configure your JSCAPE MFT Server Service , where [ip address] and [port] are the IP/port that you want the JSCAPE MFT Server Service to listen on, and [timeout in seconds] is the timeout value for this service.  The defaults port for JSCAPE MFT Server Service  is 10880.

 

Note, the IP address 0.0.0.0 is a special address that instructs the service to listen on all available network interfaces.

 

 

6.  Configure the Web/REST settings. Go to the JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory, located in the JSCAPE_MFT_Server directory relative to where the unzip command was executed, and run the following command:

 

./js-web-configuration -host [REST ip address] -port [REST port] -timeout [timeout in minutes]

 

 

For example:

 

./js-web-configuration -host 0.0.0.0 -port 11880 -timeout 10

 

This service is what you will connect to using the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager to manage your server.

 

 

7. Configure the credentials used when invoking command line utilities. Go to the /opt/JSCAPE_MFT_Server directory and run the following command:

 

./js-client-configuration -host [host] -port [port] -timeout [timeout in seconds] -user [username] -password [password]

 

 

Make sure the user and password parameters match the username and password that were used earlier in the js-addadmin command.

 

For example:

 

./js-client-configuration -host 0.0.0.0 -port 10880 -timeout 60 -user admin -password secret

 

7.  Startup JSCAPE MFT Server Service.  From the JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory run the following command:

 

./start_service.sh

 

The JSCAPE MFT Server Service should now be running.  To connect to this service and manage your server see the following topics:
