This step of the CONNX installation copies the OpenVMS components from a computer to an OpenVMS server. The CONNX Administrator component must be installed on the computer.

If you are installing Oracle, DB2, VSAM, C-ISAM, DISAM, Micro Focus, Adabas, or OLE DB/ODBC providers, skip this step and continue to the post-installation procedures.

After installing the components on the OpenVMS server, run an installation program on the server to set environment variables, set up files, and build the CONNX server function.

When installing the OpenVMS components, use a user account name and password with privileges that allow you to create subdirectories and to copy, read, and write files to the server. It is recommended that your OpenVMS system administrator conduct this procedure.

When using the CONNX login to connect to data, both the OpenVMS username and password are stored in the CONNX CDD. If the OpenVMS user name changes on the OpenVMS computer system, the CONNX username and password must be authenticated through the CDD.
