Installing on AIX

ZIP Console Installation

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

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 Administration Service.  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:

./config -host [ip address] -port [port] -user [username] -password [password]

For example:

./config -host 200.12.19.201 -port 10880 -user admin -password secret

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 [password] is the password you will use when connecting to the service.  This service is what you will connect to using the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager to manage your server.        

4.  AIX systems are typically configured to run the IBM JVM, therefore it is necessary to make some changes to various configuration files in order to instruct the JVM on what security provider and encryption algorithm to use for starting up the JSCAPE MFT Server Service.

See Running under IBM JVM for complete details and instructions.

5.  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:
