System Requirements

The following hardware and software is needed for a minimum and preferred installation:

Installation Utility

There should be no differences in installing Integration Engine on either the Red Hat or SUSE Linux operating systems. The installation creates a Groupid called pvsw, under which djengine runs. The pvsw Groupid permissions are 644. Transformations and resulting files run by a user are owned by the user who created them.

Preinstallation Checklist

Review the following checklist before installing Integration Engine:

To Install from a CD

  1. Log on to the machine as a root user.
  2. Mount the CD.

    3. cd /media/cdrom

    For /media/cdrom, use your CD device name.

  3. Create a temporary directory. This example uses mytmp:

    4. mkdir /mytmp

  4. Copy the archive to the directory:

    5. cp dje900-linux-version.tar.gz /mytmp

    For version, use the value from the .tar.gz file name.

  5. Change directories to the temporary directory:

    6. cd /mytmp

  6. Uncompress the archive:

    7. gunzip dje900-linux-version.tar.gz

  7. Untar the archive:

    8. tar xvf dje900-linux-version.tar

  8. Run the installation utility:

    9. dje900-linux-version.sh

  9. Read the license agreement and type Yes to accept. The software installs.

What to Do Next

After installing, you must apply the license file. See “To Apply the License File.”

To Apply the License File

The following are instructions for applying the default license file. If you do not have a license file, see “Obtain a license file.”

  1. After you have installed Integration Engine, copy the file cosmos.slc to the following location:

    2. /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/license

  2. Change the file access permissions as follows:

    3. chmod 644 /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/license/cosmos.slc

  3. Next, you may want to verify the installation. See “Postinstallation Steps.”

    4. Note  For information on how to use License Manager to access future license files, see “Managing License Files on Unix” in the Getting Started Guide.

Postinstallation Steps

To ensure that Integration Engine is set up correctly, follow these steps after installation:

  1. Set the appropriate environment variables for all Integration Engine users:

    2. export PATH=$PATH:/opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion

  2. Run the following command to verify the installation:

    3. rpm -qi -a | grep IntegrationEngine

Reverting to Previous Unix Permissions

If the security settings applied during installation are not appropriate for your environment, you can revert to your previous permissions by executing the following commands as root:

chmod 755 /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/djengine

chmod 777 /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/Plug-Ins

chmod 777 /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/lookup

chmod 777 /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/eaa

chmod 777 /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/jars

chmod 777 /opt/PervasiveSoftware/IntegrationEngineversion/license

The Unix security feature for the integration platform is now disabled.

Known Issues and Resolutions

This section lists the most noteworthy known issues for Linux as of the release date. If you encounter an issue not found here, contact Pervasive Support.

Issue: A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is not detected on the machine.

Solution: Install Java, and then perform the integration platform installation again. For more information, see the topic “Installing Java Before the Integration Platform” in the Getting Started Guide.

Issue: You do not have administrative privileges for the machine. A root user ID and password are required to install the product.

Solution: Contact your support organization and request that your privileges be modified to Administrative for the affected machine.

Issue: While performing a maintenance installation, your subscription is determined to be expired.

Solution: Contact your support organization to obtain an updated license. After implementing the new license, attempt to install again. For information on how to use License Manager to access your new license file, see “Managing License Files on Unix” in the Getting Started Guide.

Issue: You have trouble running Integration Engine and encounter a loading of shared libraries error.

Solution: Put the Integration Engine installation directory at the beginning of your PATH environment variable. In rare cases, customers have reported problems with an existing incompatible version of one of the third-party components that we use, such as ACE, ICU, or Xerces C. Place Integration Engine at the front of the search paths to insure the component version in the Integration Engine install directory is loaded first at run time.

Important Notes

Oracle8 Connectors

Two versions of the Oracle8 connector are included with Integration Engine to support two versions of Oracle8. The djoci8.8.0.5.so connector works with all Oracle 8.0.x client installations. The djoci8.8.1.5.so connector works with all Oracle 8.1.x client installations. You must either copy or make a symbolic link from the vendor shared library to the djoci8.so shared library in the Integration Engine installation directory.

By default, the 8.1.x version of the Oracle8 connector is installed.

To enable Oracle 8.0.x support, type the following command in the Integration Engine installation directory:

cp djoci8.8.0.5.so djoci8.so

To enable Oracle 8.1.x support, type the following command in the Integration Engine installation directory:

cp djoci8.8.1.5.so djoci8.so

ODBC Drivers

Support for both the Data Direct Technologies ODBC driver manager and the IODBC driver manager is included in the installation.

By default, the ODBC 3.x connector named djodbc3.so is built for the Data Direct Technologies ODBC driver manager. The IODBC version of the ODBC 3.x connector can be used in situations where the default ODBC 3.x connector does not work with ODBC drivers from other vendors. The IODBC enabled shared library is named djodbc3.iodbc.so; the Data Direct Technologies shared library is named djodbc3.datad.so.

To change the default supported ODBC driver manager, either copy or make a symbolic link from the versioned shared library to the djodbc3.so shared library in the Integration Engine installation directory. To enable IODBC driver manager support, type the following command in the Integration Engine installation directory:

cp djodbc3.iodbc.so djodbc3.so

To reenable Data Direct driver manager support, type the following command in the Integration Engine installation directory:

cp djodbc3.datad.so djodbc3.so
