Quick Start Installation Instructions

You can install Java CAPS in either of two ways: In the complete style, where all base products are installed, or in a custom style, where you choose which base components to include.

Quick Start Installation Steps: Complete

This summary assumes you will perform a complete installation of all base products on a single Windows machine. It also assumes that you might optionally also install additional products on the same machine. Within the base products, only the Repository, NetBeans IDE, and Application Server are required for design-time operations. However, it is recommended that you install all base products. For example, installing Enterprise Manager at this point in the process allows you to access tools for monitoring and administration.

• To install the base products, you run Java CAPS executable file for your platform and, in the installation wizard, supply values for various parameters.

• To install additional Repository-based products, you start the Repository, launch the Java CAPS Suite Installer, and upload one or more SAR files.

To Install Java CAPS Base Products

Performing a complete installation of base components on a single Windows machine (minimum 2.0 GB RAM) requires approximately 30 minutes.

1. On your installation media, double-click the Java CAPS executable file for your operating system to start the installation wizard.
2. Click Next and Back to step through the wizard, and supply site-specific parameter values or retain the default parameter values.

   Parameters include port numbers, passwords, installation location, and so on.

To Install Additional Repository-Based CAPS Products and Components

The following steps are intended to summarize. For details on specific products and components, refer to the installation documentation.

1. Open the Java CAPS home directory.
2. Start the repository by double-clicking the start_repository shortcut.
3. Start a new browser session and point your browser at the URL for the Java CAPS Uploader: http://localhost:12000.
4. Log in to the Uploader:

   • Username: admin

   • Password: adminadmin

5. Use the Administration tab to install additional products in the form of SAR files, as needed. These files are located in the components folder of your installation media.

   • The Adapters folder includes adapters for CICS, COM, LDAP, TCPIP, and many others.

   • The Addons folder includes: Alert Agent and SNMP Agent, COBOL Copybook Converter, eIndex and eView, and migration tools, plus the MDM solution templates.

   • The ESB API Kit folder includes API Kits for many operating system platforms.

   • The Message Libraries folder includes message libraries for EDIFACT, HIPAA, HL7, X12, and others.

6. As needed, use the Downloads tab to load files locally so you can extract their contents.

   This concludes the steps for installing Java CAPS. To exercise them, you can try out any of the repository-based end-to-end scenarios supplied with Java CAPS or the various adapters.

   You can download sample projects to work with from the Java CAPS sample site at http://java.net/projects/javacaps-samples/pages/Home.

Quick Start Installation Steps: Custom

This summary assumes you will perform a custom installation of the NetBeans IDE and Application Server on a single Windows machine. Performing a custom installation allows you to choose which of the Java CAPS components to install. Performing a custom installation of these base components on a single Windows machine (minimum 1.5 GB RAM) requires approximately 15 minutes.

To Custom-Install Java CAPS

1. On your installation media, double-click the Java CAPS executable for your operating system to start the installation wizard.
2. At the Choose Install Set step, select the Custom option and then click Next.
3. Supply site-specific parameter values, or retain default parameter values.
