WebLogic Exchange Service Setup Guide
Installation
This chapter describes how to install the MAPI subsystem and WebLogic Exchange Service.
Note: The BEA_HOME
directory refers to the directory where products are installed and WEBLOGIC_EXCHANGE_SERVICE_HOME
refers to the directory the WebLogic Exchange Service is installed.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Installing the MAPI Subsystem
You can install the MAPI subsystem with the Microsoft Exchange 2000 or 2003 System Manager. Before installing the MAPI subsystem, be sure the machine satisfies the Windows Domain requirements. For more information, Windows Domain Requirements on page 2-2.
Using Microsoft Exchange 2000 or 2003 System Manager
Perform the following steps to install the WebLogic Exchange Service using the System Manager:
- Insert the Microsoft Exchange 2000 or 2003 Server CD.
- Assign the Install action to Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools.
Note: Do not install Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Administrator.
- Click Next and choose an installation path.
- Click Finish to complete the installation.
- Recommended: Install the latest Service Pack of Microsoft Exchange.
- Set the Process Rights. For more information see Setting Process Rights on page 2-2.
Installing the WebLogic Exchange Service
The BEA installation program supports the following methods for installing the WebLogic Exchange Service software:
Graphical Mode
Graphical-mode installation is an interactive, GUI-based method for installing WebLogic Exchange Service. It can be run on both Windows and UNIX systems. For installation procedures, see Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation.
Note: If you want to run graphical-mode installation, the console attached to the machine on which you are installing the software must support a Java-based GUI. All consoles for Windows systems support Java-based GUIs, but not all consoles for UNIX systems do. If you attempt to start the installation program in graphical mode on a system that cannot support a graphical display, the installation program automatically starts console-mode installation.
Console Mode
Console-mode installation is an interactive, text-based method for installing WebLogic Exchange Service, from the command line, on either a UNIX system or a Windows system. For instructions for using this method, see Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation.
Installing Using Graphical-Mode Installation
Perform the following steps to install the WebLogic Exchange Service using the Graphical-Mode installation.
Start Graphical-Mode Installation
If you are installing WebLogic Exchange Service on a Windows system that supports more than one monitor, you must disable all but one monitor before starting the installation program.
To start the installation in graphical mode on a Windows system:
- Log in to the Windows system.
- Obtain the WebLogic Exchange Service installer. This installer is available from the WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration product bundle and can be found in the following directory:
GROUPWARE_PORTLETS_HOME/service/exchange_service
- Go to the directory that contains the installation file and invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:
java -jar wl_exchange_service_setup-43.jar
Here, wl_exchange_service_setup-43.jar
is the name of the WebLogic Exchange Service installation file.
Note: To ensure that the hardware/software configuration on which you are installing the product is supported by WebLogic Exchange Service, see the WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration Supported Configurations Guide.
- Proceed to Running the Installation Program.
Running the Installation Program
The installation program prompts you to enter specific information about your system and configuration. For instructions on responding to the prompts during installation, see Table 1-1.
