This chapter provides instructions on setting up FTP on your IBM i Enterprise Server for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Using FTP is an alternate method to transfer the unwrapped .jar file from a Microsoft Windows-machine to the IBM i machine.
This chapter includes the following tasks:
Use the AS\400 Operations Navigator to open your IBM i machine node and navigate to Network > Servers > TCP\IP.
If the DDM server is not already started, you can manually start it using the Operations Navigator. In the right-hand pane of the Operations Navigator, in the Server Name column, highlight DDM, right-click, and choose Start.
Configure the FTP server. In the right-hand pane of the Operations Navigator, in the Server Name column, highlight the FTP server, right click, and choose Properties.
On FTP Properties, select the Initial Formats tab.
With the Initial Formats tab selected, ensure the following checkboxes are enabled:
Checkbox | Description |
---|---|
File naming format | Path |
Working directory | Use user's home directory |
File listing format | UNIX listing format |
Click OK to save the changes and exit the FTP Properties.
Use the AS\400 Operations Navigator to open your IBM i machine node and navigate to Network > Servers > TCP\IP.
In the right-hand pane of the Operations Navigator, highlight FTP, right click, and choose Start.
If you are not able to copy the install image from your Windows client to your IBM i because the assembly.dat
file is too large, alternatively you can use FTP to transfer that file into the IFS directory.
On the Microsoft Windows client where you ran the IBM i Wrapper install:
Start a command window (Run | cmd), then enter this command:
ftp machine_name
where machine_name is the name of your IBM i machine.
Enter a valid IBM i user and password when prompted to do so.
To indicate you want to use the IFS instead of the standard file system on the IBM i, enter this command:
cd \
Note:
This command specifies you want to put files into the IFS without changing any system settings on your IBM i, as would be the case if you entered aquote site namefmt 1
command.In Microsoft Windows Explorer, drill down to the assembly.dat
file in your install image on the Microsoft Windows client.
For example, the assembly.dat
file might be in a location similar to this:
d:\disk1\install\data\E910-3ffd45216a0d2fb17cd87deda05\9.1.000
In the command window type this command (but do not press Enter):
lcd
Note:
Do not press Enter at this point. Continue with the steps below to finish populating thelcd
command.Drag the location of the assembly.dat
from Microsoft Windows Explorer results from Step 3 into the command window to append the lcd
command begun in Step 4, and then press Enter to execute the lcd
command.
Your completed command will look similar to this:
lcd d:\disk1\install\data\E910-3ffd45216a0d2fb17cd87deda05\9.1.000
In the command window type this command (but do not press Enter):
cd
Note:
Do not press Enter at this point. Continue with the steps below to finish populating thecd
command.In Microsoft Windows Explorer, copy the location of the assembly.dat
on the Microsoft Windows box from the Address bar and paste the results to append the cd
command.
Your completed command will look similar to this:
cd address_copied_from_Windows_Explorer
In the command window, enter this command:
bin
In the command window, enter this command:
put assembly.dat
Using Microsoft Windows Explorer, verify that the size and number of files match in the Microsoft Windows install image and the IBM i install image.
