Installing CORBA C++ server support on UNIX

To install CORBA C++ server support on AIX or Solaris systems, complete the following steps.

Note: For this release, the CORBA C++ SDK cannot be installed on an HP-UX or Linux server.

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Insert your Enterprise Edition Server and Client CD into the CD-ROM drive.
  3. AIX only: If you have not mounted the CD-ROM drive enter the following mount command now:
    mount -r -v cdrfs <CD_device> cdrom
  4. At a command prompt, change to the installation image directory on the CD:
    cd /cdrom/enterprise/your_platform/EnterpriseEdition

  6. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  7. On the Setup type page, select Custom, then click Next.
  8. On the Select components page, select CORBA C++ SDK, then click Next.

    The installation program finds the directory where the Advanced Edition server is installed and tells you that Enterprise Edition will be installed under the same directory. You cannot change the installation directory.

  9. Click Next.
  10. On the Install options selected page, click Next.

    The installation program begins copying files to your machine. All JAR files are copied to WAS_HOME/lib, and all other files are copied to subdirectories under WAS_HOME/Enterprise. A log file named install_en.log is written to WAS_HOME/Enterprise.

  11. When the installation completes, click Finish. Review the README file.
