The information in this section describes how to install WebSphere Business Integration Adapters (WBIA).
Install the WBIA product by running a platform-specific executable for the installer. Table 6 lists the installer executable for each operating system. The installer executables are located in the WebSphereBI directory on the product CD.
Table 6. Platform-specific executables for WBIA Installer
Operating system | WBIA Installer executable file |
---|---|
Windows | setupwin32.exe |
AIX | setupAIX.bin |
Solaris | setupsolarisSparc.bin |
HP-UX | setupHP.bin |
The graphical WBIA installer presents you with a wizard that allows you to make choices about the installation of the WBIA product. Although the installer is Java-based and therefore platform-independent, there are different ways of invoking the installer for each platform. This section describes the approaches for both Windows and UNIX computers.
To invoke Installer in a Windows environment, navigate to the WebSphereBI directory of the product CD and execute setupwin32.exe.
The WBIA installer in a UNIX environment is invoked through a .bin file specific to the platform, located in the WebSphereBI directory. Table 6 provides the name of the .bin file for each platform.
Follow the steps in one of the following sections to invoke the installer depending on how you are working with the UNIX computer:
If you are running the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and working on the UNIX computer directly then you can navigate to the WebSphereBI directory of the product CD and double-click the .bin file specific to the operating system.
You can also navigate to the WebSphereBI directory of the product CD and execute the .bin file at the command line. The following example shows how to do so on a Solaris computer:
# ./setupsolarisSparc.bin
If you are using a Windows computer to connect to the UNIX computer through X emulation software do the following to invoke the installer:
You can execute the ipconfig command at the Windows command line interface to display the IP address of the Windows computer.
You must be sure to follow the IP address with a colon and the identifier for the monitor or display on the Windows client computer. If the Windows client computer only has a single monitor then the display value is 0.0.
The following example shows the DISPLAY environment variable being set to the single monitor on a Windows computer whose IP address is 9.26.244.30:
DISPLAY=9.26.244.30:0.0
export DISPLAY
# ./setupAIX.bin
The graphical installer starts on the Windows computer that you are using to connect to the UNIX computer.
