Installing the Data Server components on a UNIX Machine
To install the data servers:
1. On a computer on which the CONNX Administrator component is installed, start CONNX Server Setup.
2. Select the UNIX/Linux tab.
3. Select your system's platform from the Platform drop-down box.
4. Check the checkbox of each product you want to install.
If the target system has an FTP, SFTP, or SCP server enabled, skip to step 5.
If the target system does not have an FTP, SFTP, or SCP server enabled, select the Manual Copy Installation option and click the Begin Client Installation button. This option will create the necessary install files in the <database type>\TEMPINST subdirectory of the CONNX installation directory. Move these files via an alternate copy method to the Unix server and then proceed to step 10 below.
5. Select the desired transfer method.
6. Enter the TCP/IP host name or address for your system platform in the Server text box.
7. In the User ID text box, enter a privileged user account name.
8. In the Password text box, enter a user account password.
By default, the C-ISAM, DISAM, RMCobol, or Micro Focus data is sent to your home directory. If you wish to send it to another location, enter the name of the alternate directory in the Installation Information Install Path text box.
9. Click the Install button.
This action starts an FTP, SFTP or SCP session and copies the selected components to the target server. Progress will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. A confirmation window will pop up when the process is complete.
If the C-ISAM, DISAM, RMCobol, Dataflex or Micro Focus server is not installed, an error box appears. In this case, select Files from the menu - the sub menu has options to view the FTP log as well as the FTP script. The FTP logs have a timestamp appended to the name. Select the appropriate log file and check for errors. If the resolution to the problem requires a call to technical support, please provide the log file as well as the script file to the support representative. If the files fail to copy for some reason, please use the manual option in step 4.
If you get a unixinst error message, you must use the chmod command to set the execute permissions for the installconnx shell script. For example:
chmod 550 installconnx
10. To run the installconnx shell script, start a terminal emulator on the UNIX server and type the appropriate user name and password.
There are three possible command-line options for installconnx:
-h = Print Help
-s = Yes | No enhanced security
-p = Default CNXRUNPORT
11. Type ./installconnx and then press <Enter>. Press <Enter> again to install to current directory or enter a new install path at the prompt.
The contents of the compressed files are unzipped to a CONNX directory in the install directory.
12. When asked whether you wish to get enhanced security, type <y>.
Enhanced security enables UNIX user names/passwords to be verified using UNIX logon security. You will be prompted for a root password.
If the final output reads "CONNX UNIX Installation Complete", the installation was successful. If it doesn't, check the preceding error message.
When you're done with the process, ensure that the risamsrv daemon is running.
