Installing on Linux

RPM Console Installation

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

1.  Place the install.rpm file in a directory on the destination server.

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

rpm -iv install.rpm

3. Configure and initialize database.  Go to the /opt/JSCAPE_MFT_Server directory and run the following commands.

./js-database-configuration -configure

./js-database-configuration -init

4.  Add an administrative user.  Go to the /opt/JSCAPE_MFT_Server directory 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] -rest.host [ip address] -rest.port [rest.port]

For example:

./js-server-configuration -host 0.0.0.0 -port 10880 -rest.host 0.0.0.0 -rest.port 11880

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 [rest.host] and [rest.port] are the IP and port that you want the REST web service to listen on.  This service is what you will connect to using the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager to manage your server.  Defaults ports for JSCAPE MFT Server Service and REST web service are 10880 and 11880 respectively.

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

6.  Startup Administration Service.  From the /opt/JSCAPE_MFT_Server 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:

ZIP Console Installation

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 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-server-configuration -host [ip address] -port [port] -rest.host [ip address] -rest.port [rest.port]

For example:

./js-server-configuration -host 0.0.0.0 -port 10880 -rest.host 0.0.0.0 -rest.port 11880

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 [rest.host] and [rest.port] are the IP and port that you want the REST web service to listen on.  This service is what you will connect to using the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager to manage your server.  Defaults ports for JSCAPE MFT Server Service and REST web service are 10880 and 11880 respectively.

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

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

./start_service.sh
