1. Installing the BEA TUXEDO System on the AS/400

This chapter provides prerequisites and instructions for installing the BEA TUXEDO system on an AS/400 platform.

Note: For information on available BEA TUXEDO packages, hardware, software, and disk space requirements for the AS/400 platform, refer to Appendix A ("Platform Data Sheets") in the BEA TUXEDO Installation Guide. The guide is available on the documentation CD-ROM delivered with Release 6.5. It is also available (as part of the Release 6.5 online documentation set) through the Customer Support Page at the BEA Systems Web site.

Interoperability

BEA TUXEDO Release 6.5 running on an AS/400 platform can interoperate, as either master or non-master, with Release 6.5 running on any other supported platform.

Backward compatibility (that is, interoperability between Release 6.5 and prior releases) is supported only if the master node is running Release 6.5.

All workstation platforms that are currently supported work with this release.

The Installation Process

This section provides instructions for preparing your environment for the BEA TUXEDO system, installing the BEA TUXEDO system from an NT, WIN95, or UNIX system platform, and installing the Link-Level Encryption add-on security package.

Before You Begin

Before you start installing the BEA TUXEDO system, sign on to your AS/400 system and make sure you have a tuxedo user profile. If you do not, create one now. The user defined in this profile will be the owner of all the program objects created during the installation process.

Installing from an NT or WIN95 Platform

  1. On the network to which your AS/400 machine is connected, find a PC with a CD-ROM drive, and insert the CD.

  2. Create a 3-line file containing the following ftp information: 

    open as400-machine-name
    account-name
    password

    For example, suppose that (a) you are working on an AS/400 machine called lc400b.beasys.com, (b) your login is rtl, and (c) your password is rtl123. Your profile will contain the following three lines: 

    open lc400b.beasys.com
    rtl
    rtl123

    This file will be used to automatically execute the pre-installation procedures necessary for installing the BEA TUXEDO system 6.5 through ftp. Once the pre-installation steps are completed, the file should be removed.

  3. Invoke the pre-installation batch file, preinst.bat, with the appropriate command-line arguments. 

    preinst.bat CD-drive tmplib tuxdir tuxlib filename version

    where:

  4. Run the install program on the AS/400. 

    addlible tuxlib
    call coreinst (tmplib tuxlib '/tuxdir' 'all|client')

    where you specify one of the following:

    During the installation process (which may take several minutes), a number of restoring X to Y messages are displayed, such as the following. 

    restoring service programs to tuxlib

  5. Remove, from tmplib, all the save files that were created in Step 3. Remove tmplib, too, if it is different from tuxlib and it is no longer needed.

  6. Initialize the tlisten passwords. The tlisten password is used for authentication during the boot process of a multiple-node application. To initialize the password file, enter the following command. 

    call tlistpwd 'tuxdir'

    where the value of tuxdir is the directory specified as tuxdir in Step 4. This command will prompt for passwords until a null password is entered. For further details about the password file, see tlisten in the BEA TUXEDO Reference Manual.

  7. Your installation of the BEA TUXEDO system is now complete; you can start using it as soon as a license file is installed in $TUXDIR/udataobj/lic.txt. For information on obtaining a license, contact your BEA TUXEDO sales representative.

Installing from a UNIX System Platform

  1. On the network to which your AS/400 machine is connected, find a UNIX system with a CD-ROM drive and insert the CD-ROM.

  2. Set up a .netrc file to allow ftp to sign on to the AS/400 machine. For example, suppose that (a) you are working on an AS/400 machine called lc400b.beasys.com, (b) your login is rtl, and (c) your password is rtl123. Your .netrc file will contain the following three lines. 

    machine lc400b.beasys.com
    login rtl
    password rtl123

  3. Invoke the preinstallation shell, preinst.sh, with the appropriate command-line arguments: 

    preinst.sh mount-point tmplib tuxdir tuxlib machine version

    where:

  4. Run the install program on the AS/400. 

    addlible tuxlib
    call coreinst (tmplib tuxlib '/tuxdir' 'all|client')

    where you specify one of the following:

    During the installation process (which may take several minutes), a number of restoring X to Y messages will be displayed, such as. 

    restoring service programs to tuxlib

  5. Remove, from tmplib, all the save files that were created in Step 3. Remove tmplib, too, if it is different from tuxlib and it is no longer needed.

  6. Initialize the tlisten passwords. The tlisten passwords are used for authentication during the boot process of a multiple-node application. To initialize the password file, enter the following command. 

    call tlistpwd 'tuxdir'

    where the value of tuxdir is the directory specified as tuxdir in Step 4. This command will prompt for passwords until a null password is entered. For further details about the password file, see tlisten in the BEA TUXEDO Reference Manual.

  7. Your installation of the BEA TUXEDO system is now complete; you can start using it as soon as a license file is installed in $TUXDIR/udataobj/lic.txt. For information on obtaining a license, contact your BEA TUXEDO sales representative.

Installing the Security Add-on Package

Release 6.5 offers two types of the optional Security Add-on Package:

Both packages are delivered on separate CD-ROMs. Neither can be installed unless the Core package has already been installed.

To install a Security Add-on Package, complete the following procedure.

  1. On the AS/400, find an HFS library in which you can store the contents of the CD. We'll refer to this library as tmplib. If you cannot find such a library, create one by entering the following command. 

    crtlib tmplib

  2. Create a save file in tmplib as follows. 

    crtsavf tmplib/ENCbit

    where the value of bit is one of the following:

  3. Use ftp to move the corresponding file from the as400/v4r1 subdirectory on the CD to tmplib. Remember to use binary mode for the transfer.

    For example, if you are working in a DOS Prompt window on a WIN95 machine, your session will look something like the following. 

    C:\> e:
    E:\> cd \as400\v4r1
    E:\AS400\V4R1> ftp as400a
    Connected to as400a.
    220-QTCP at as400a.
    220 Connection will close if idle more than 5 minutes.
    User (as400a:(None)): rtl
    331 Enter password.
    Password:*****
    230 RTL logged on.
    ftp> binary
    200 Representation type is binary IMAGE.
    ftp> put ENC40 tmplib/ENC40
    200 PORT subcommand request successful.
    150 Sending file to member ENC40 in file ENC40 in library tmplib.
    250 File transfer completed successfully.
    28854144 bytes sent in 76.62 seconds (376.59 Kbytes/sec)
    ftp> quit

    Note: Repeat this procedure for all save files created in Step 2.

  4. Run the install program.

    Note: Remember that because the installation program for add-on products is installed along with the BEA TUXEDO Core package, the Core package must be installed before you can install any add-ons.

    Enter the following commands. 

    addlible tuxlib
    call addoninst (tmplib tuxlib 'ENC56|ENC128')

    where you choose one of the following:

    During installation (which may take several minutes), status messages are displayed.

  5. Remove, from tmplib, all save files created in Step 3.

  6. Remove tmplib if it is different from tuxlib and it is no longer needed.

  7. You have now finished installing your BEA TUXEDO add-on package.
