Installing the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector

This section describes how to install the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector on the iPlanet Application Server. This section covers the following topics:


Windows NT Installation

Verify the following software is installed before installing the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector:

  • iPlanet Application Server 6.0 SP1

  • Unified Integration Framework 6.0 SP1

  • Tuxedo Workstation Client software 6.5

You must be logged in to Windows NT as the administrator to install the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector. To install the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector complete the following steps:

  1. Read the README.txt file on the CD-ROM.

  2. Copy NT/instux.zip from the CD-ROM into a temporary local directory.

  3. Unzip instux.zip, then run setup.exe.

  4. Read the Welcome message and click on the Next button.

Figure 2-1    Welcome Window


  1. Read the License Agreement, click on the Yes button to agree and continue.

Figure 2-2    Software License Agreement Window


  1. Read the Location of Installation window, choose an installation directory and click on the Next button.

    The iPlanet Enterprise Connector for Tuxedo must be installed in the same directory as the installed iPlanet Application Server.

    If the installer detects that the iPlanet Application Server and/or the UIF software is not installed, a message is displayed indicating the installation cannot continue. Click OK to exit Setup and install the required software.

Figure 2-3    Location of Installation Window


  1. Read the Components to Install window, select the Enterprise Connector for TUXEDO 6.0 SP1 (Service Pack 1) checkbox and click on the Next button.

Figure 2-4    Components to Install Window


  1. Read the Location of Tuxedo Workstation client software window and specify the directory where the Tuxedo Workstation Client software has been installed and click on the Next button.

    The Tuxedo Workstation Client software must be installed prior to installing the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector. The installer validates the directory specified and displays an error message if its an invalid Tuxedo directory. In order to proceed, a valid Tuxedo workstation directory must be specified.

Figure 2-5    Location of Tuxedo Workstation Window


  1. Reads the Tuxedo Server Configuration window and specify the host name, port number and security level. When completed click on the Next button.

    Set the host name and port number to the hostname and workstation listener port intended to connect to Tuxedo system. This is equivalent to the WSNADDR environment variable set before running a workstation client. WSNADDR is constructed as //<hostname>:<port>. This information is mandatory because the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector connects to the Tuxedo system via the Tuxedo Workstation client.

    Set the security level to any of the three constants based on security level configured on the Tuxedo system. This is determined by the SECURITY parameter value in the RESOURCES section of the Tuxedo configuration file. Consult the Tuxedo system administrator to obtain the configured security level.

    If the Tuxedo system is configured with SECURITY it is necessary to pass the security information. The information is passed to the BEA Tuxedo system via a TPINIT buffer while the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector is attaching to the Tuxedo system.




    Constant

    Type of Authentication

    NONE  

    The security level is configured to NONE. No additional information is needed by the Tuxedo Workstation client to connect to Tuxedo system.

    This is the default value used by the installer. If this option is selected the installer doesn't prompt for additional information.  

    APP_PW  

    The security level is configured to APP_PW. This security level requires every client to provide an application password as part of joining the Tuxedo system.

    When this option is selected during installation, the installer prompts for an application password.

    The information is passed inside the TPINIT data structure when tpinit() is called by the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector.  

    USER_AUTH/ACL/MANDATORY_ACL  

    The security level is configured to USER_ACL, ACL or MANDATORY_ACL.

    These levels require an application password as well as user specific data (user name, client name, and user password) which is passed to an authentication service before the client attaches to Tuxedo system.

    When this option is selected during installation, the installer prompts for an application password, user name, client name and user password.

    This information is passed inside the TPINIT data structure when tpinit() is called by the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector.  

Please refer BEA Tuxedo Programmer's Guide for more details on security levels.

Configuring the Installation

To configure the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector set and verify the environment variables, as shown below. Refer to BEA Tuxedo documentation for additional information.


Windows NT

  • Add <tuxedo /ws rootdir>\bin to path environment variable.

  • Add <tuxedo /ws rootdir>\locale\C to NLSPATH environment variable.

  • Set TUXDIR environment variable to Tuxedo workstation client installation root directory.


Unix-based

  • Add <tuxedo /ws rootdir>/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH of the shell environment may be modified, or the script <ias root>/ias/bin/kjs may be adjusted to include this path.

  • Add <tuxedo /ws rootdir>/locale/C to NLSPATH environment variable.

  • Set TUXDIR environment variable to Tuxedo workstation client installation root directory.



    Note

    There is no need to set the following Tuxedo environment variables:

    • WSNADDR

    • WSDEVICE

    These variables are set internally by the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector based on information provided during installation or while creating a new datasource using the Tuxedo Management Console.



It is highly recommended to have the Tuxedo Server (Tuxedo /T system) configured for both simple application and bank application to run the samples supplied with Tuxedo Enterprise Connector.



Copying files in Webless Installation



In a webless installation, the web server and iPlanet Application Server reside on separate machine. In this configuration mode the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector installation procedure will not automatically copy the HTML and image files pertaining to connector samples to web server document root directory. In order to run the samples shipped with Tuxedo Enterprise Connector, a set of HTML and image files must be copied manually from the iPlanet Application Server instance to web server instance. To do this, perform the following steps:

  1. Create the tuxSamples directory under the web server document root directory. For example, <iWS installdir>/docs/tuxSamples.

  2. Copy index.html file from <iAS rootdir>/ias/APPS/adapters/tux/htmldocs/tuxSamples directory to <iWS installdir>/docs/tuxSamples directory on web server machine.

  3. Create TuxBank directory under <iWS installdir>/docs/GXApp directory on web server machine.

  4. Create images directory under <iWS installdir>/docs/GXApp/TuxBank directory on web server machine.

  5. Create TuxSimpApp directory under <iWS installdir>/docs/GXApp directory on web server machine.

  6. Copy sindex.html file from <iAS rootdir>/ias/APPS/adapters/tux/htmldocs/GXApp/TuxSimpApp to <iWS installdir>/docs/GXApp/TuxSimpApp.

  7. Copy bindex.html file from <iAS rootdir>/ias/APPS/adapters/tux/htmldocs/GXApp/TuxBank to <iWS installdir>/docs/GXApp/TuxBank.

  8. Copy all image files under <iAS rootdir>/ias/APPS/adapters/tux/htmldocs/GXApp/TuxBank/images directory to <iWS installdir>/docs/GXApp/TuxBank/images directory.



Verifying the Installation

To verify the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector installation, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify the Tuxedo server (the Tuxedo /T) has been properly installed and configured according to the instructions in the BEA Tuxedo documentation.

  2. Verify the workstation listener is running on the Tuxedo server.

  3. On the Tuxedo server, run the Tuxedo Simple Application (simpapp) server program, according to the instructions in the BEA Tuxedo documentation. This program offers the TOUPPER service, which converts the input string to upper case and returns it to the client.

  4. Verify the Tuxedo workstation client software (Tuxedo /WS) has been properly installed and configured according to the instructions in the BEA Tuxedo documentation. The Tuxedo /WS software must be installed on the system where the iPlanet Application Server is installed.

  5. Verify the connection between the Tuxedo server and Tuxedo workstation client software by running the sample application simpapp provided by the Tuxedo system.

  6. Verify the environment variables are set correctly as described in "Configuring the Installation".

  7. Verify the iPlanet Application Server engines (kas, kxs, and kjs) are running.

  8. Start the Tuxedo Connector Sample application.

    Windows NT: From the Start/Programs menu, choose iPlanet Application Server 6.0 / TUXEDO Connector 6.0 - Sample Applications entry.

    Unix: Visit http://<hostname:port>/tuxSamples/index.html URL. Where hostname is your web server's hostname. Example, http://horse:80/tuxSamples/index.html.
