Installing Linux/UNIX InstantdbSync Components on the InstantdbSync Administrator
To run InstantdbSync on a Linux/UNIX system, you must install the components on both the Windows InstantdbSync Administrator system and the UNIX system.
Before installing InstantdbSync on Linux/UNIX, install the InstantdbSync Administrator on a Windows machine and the CONNX Adabas SQL Gateway client component on the Linux/UNIX machine.
To install Linux/UNIX InstantdbSync components:
1. Start the UNIX Installer in the CONNX InstantdbSync program group. The InstantdbSync for UNIX setup window appears.
If the target system has an enabled FTP, SFTP, or SCP server, proceed to the next step.
If the target system does not have an enabled FTP, SFTP, or SCP server, select the Manual Copy Installation option and click the Begin Client Installation button. This option will create the necessary install files in the REPLICATION\INSTALL\UNIX\TEMPINST subdirectory of the CONNX installation directory. Move these files via a method of your choice to the Unix server and then proceed to the Installing InstantdbSync in a UNIX Environment section.
2. Select an operating system from the Platform list box and the desired transfer method (FTP, SFTP or SCP).
3. In the Login area, enter the TCP/IP host name or address for your system platform in Server, the user account name in Username, and the account password in Password. If desired, you can specify the installation directory in Path.
Note:
If you do not specify a path, the files will be transferred to the default home directory for the user specified in Username.
4. Click Install. A confirmation message will appear after a successful install.
