Installing the Oracle TSAM System on IBM i 6.1

This chapter contains the following topics:

•	The Installation Process

The Installation Process

This section provides instructions for preparing your environment for the Oracle TSAM system, installing the Oracle TSAM system from a Microsoft Windows or UNIX system platform.

Before You Begin

Before you start installing the Oracle TSAM system, sign on to your IBM i 6.1 system and make sure you have the tuxedo user profile for Oracle TSAM installation. 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.

Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) must be installed over Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0) with server components.

Installing from a Microsoft Windows Platform

1.	Oracle TSAM for IBM i 6.1 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) is distributed in a .ZIP file. Before installation, extract this file to any directory and then start the next installation.

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

open IBM i 6.1-machine-name
account-name
password

For example, suppose that (a) you are working on an IBM i 6.1 machine called lc400b.oracle.com, (b) your login is rtl, and (c) your password is rtl123. Your profile contains the following three lines:

open lc400b.oracle.com
rtl
rtl123

This file is used to automatically execute the pre-installation procedures necessary for installing Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) through ftp. Once the pre-installation steps are completed, the file should be removed manually.

Note:

A new line is required after the password line.

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

preinst.bat tmplib destpath filename

where:

•	tmplib is the library on the IBM i machine in which copies of the Oracle TSAM save files will be stored.

•	destpath is the full IFS path on the IBM i machine where the Oracle TSAM system will be installed.

•	filename is the full path to a file that contains ftp account and password information for the IBM i machine on which the Oracle TSAM system is installed.

4.	Steps 4-7 are the same as Installing from a UNIX System Platform 4-7 below.

Installing from a UNIX System Platform

1.	Oracle Oracle TSAM 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2) for IBM i 6.1 is distributed in a .ZIP file. Before installation, extract this file to any directory and then start the next installation.

2.	Set up a .netrc file to allow ftp to sign on to the IBM i 6.1 machine. For example, suppose that (a) you are working on an IBM i 6.1 machine called lc400b.oracle.com, (b) your login is rtl, and (c) your password is rtl123. Your .netrc file will contain the following three lines.

machine lc400b.oracle.com
login rtl
password rtl123

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

preinst.sh tmplib destpath machine, where:

•	tmplib is the library on the IBM i 6.1 where Oracle TSAM save files are located.

•	destpath is the full IFS path on the IBM i machine where the Oracle TSAM system will be installed.

•	machine is the name of the IBM i 6.1 machine where Oracle TSAM is installed.

4.	Start a qsh session on IBM i and go to the installation path:

start a qsh session:

addlible tuxlib

call putenv 'TUXDIR=tuxdir'

qsh

where

tuxlib is the Oracle Tuxedo library name in HFS. The version of Oracle Tuxedo must be same with the TSAM.

tuxdir is the Oracle Tuxedo installation path in IFS

then go to install path:

cd destpath/install_tsam11gR1

5.	Run the install program in qsh:

chmod u+x install.sh

install.sh -l tmplib -L tuxlib

where:

tmplib is the value used in pre-installation process.

tuxlib is the Oracle Tuxedo library name in HFS.

6.	Remove all the saved files that were created in Step 3 from tmplib.

Note:

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

7.	Your installation of the Oracle TSAM system is now complete.

Uninstalling the Oracle TSAM System on IBM i 6.1

1.	Start a qsh session on IBM i and go to the installation path:

addlible tuxlib

call putenv 'TUXDIR=tuxdir'

qsh

then go to the installation path:

cd destpath/install_tsam11gR1

where:

destpath is the Oracle TSAM installation path in IFS.

tuxlib is the Oracle Tuxedo library name in HFS.

tuxdir is is the Oracle Tuxedo installation path in IFS.

2. Run the uninstall program in qsh:

chmod u+x uninstall.sh

uninstall.sh -L tuxlib

where:

tuxlib is the Oracle Tuxedo library name in HFS.

3. Remove the destpath, if it is different from tuxdir and it is no longer needed.

4. Your uninstallation of the Oracle TSAM system is now complete.
