Sun B2B Suite eXchange Integrator User's Guide

Installing the Product Files

The steps for installing product files for the B2B Suite are the same as for other products in Java CAPS. You can find general product installation instructions in the Java Composite Application Platform Suite Installation Guide, which is available on the product media and can also be accessed via the Enterprise Manager Documentation tab.

Uploading B2B Suite Product Files to the Repository

ProcedureTo upload product files to the Repository

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing the B2B Suite, make sure you have done the following:

A Repository server must be running on the machine where you will be uploading the product files and the following .sar files must have already been uploaded to this Repository:

  1. On a Windows machine, start a Web browser and point it at the machine and port (usually 12000) where the Repository server is running:


    http://hostname:port
    

    where

    • hostname is the name of the machine running the Repository server.

    • port is the starting port number assigned when the Repository was installed.

      For example, the URL you enter might look like either of the following:


      http://localhost:12000
      http://serv1234.company.com:22000
  2. On the Suite Installer’s Java CAPS Login page, enter your username and password.


    Note –

    The following steps assume you have already uploaded eGate 5.1.3.


  3. When the Suite Installer displays the Administration tab, click the link to install additional products.

    See Figure 2–1.

    Figure 2–1 Suite Installer: Installing Additional Products

  4. In the Display” >> Select page, open the Core Products category

    See Figure 2–2. Depending on the previous installation, eXchange Integrator might not appear in the Core Products list; if it is not shown, use the controls near the top of the page to browse to the correct Product_List.sar file and submit it.

  5. In the list of core products, select eXchange.

    See Figure 2–3.

eXchange

  6. Select other core B2B products you want to install, and protocol managers for which you are licensed. Optionally, you can also open other categories to select non-core products. For example:

    • OTD libraries and protocol managers are often installed along with eXchange Integrator.

    • If you have not previously installed a required eWay or a Logical Host, you can do so now.

    • To access the documentation and sample Projects for eXchange Integrator and other products, select the appropriate items under the Documentation tab.

  7. When you have selected all the products you want to install, click the Next button.

  8. In the Select >> Upload page, browse to and select eXchange.sar. Repeat with each of the other SAR files you want to install.

    See Figure 2–4.

  9. When done, click Next.

    Note –

    eXchange.sar may take some time to install.


    The .sar files are uploaded to the Repository. To install additional products, click the install additional productslink. The Select >> Upload >> Install page allows you to select other products. See Figure 2–5 .

    While the Suite Installer is running, you can now do any of the following, as needed:

    • Use the Administration tab to install additional products and documentation.

    • Use the Downloads tab to download additional components. For example, all core design work requires Enterprise Designer, and all runtime requires a Logical Host. The sample assumes you have also downloaded Enterprise Manager.

    • Use the Documentation tab to access documentation files and samples you have installed.

Refreshing Enterprise Designer

The following steps are needed only if you have uploaded (or re-uploaded) a SAR file, which requires a refresh to the Enterprise Designer GUI framework.


Tip –

How can you determine whether to use the Update Center? Start Enterprise Designer and, on the Tools menu, click Update Center; if there are any items under “eGate 5.1.3” besides “Base ESR”, you need to take the following steps.


ProcedureTo refresh an existing installation of Enterprise Designer

Before You Begin
  1. Start Enterprise Designer.

  2. On the Tools menu, click Update Center.

  3. In the Update Center Wizard, select Check for Available Updates and click Next.

    The Update Center shows a list of components ready for updating. See Figure 2–6.

    Depending on what products you have installed, and how they are configured, the screenshots pictured may differ from what you see on your system.


  4. Click Add All (the button with a double chevron pointing to the right).

    All modules move from the Available/New pane to the Include in Install pane.

  5. Click Next and, in the next window, click Accept to accept the license agreement.

  6. When the progress bars indicate the download has ended, click Next.

  7. Review the certificates and installed modules, and then click Finish.

  8. When prompted to restart Enterprise Designer, click OK.

    See Figure 2–7.

    When Enterprise Designer restarts, the installation of eXchange Integrator is complete, and you can use all eXchange Integrator tools that require the Enterprise Designer framework.
