Transferring files to the UNIX server

The EC Gateway for UNIX installation installs the UNIX components on the Windows server. To complete the setup, you must transfer the files to the UNIX server.

StepsTransferring EC Gateway files to the UNIX server

  1. Determine where the files are located on your PC. The default path for the UNIX components is:

  2. Run FTP and set the source directory to one of the above directories.

  3. Set FTP to binary mode.

  4. Select the destination directory to be where you plan to run the UNIX EC Gateway.

  5. Transfer these files to the destination directory:

  6. After you transfer the files, verify that the executables and shared libraries names are in lowercase on the UNIX server.

  7. If you plan to use the PutMessage or GetMessage EC Gateway commands with MQSeries installed on the same server, also transfer the libMQSWrap file. libMQSWrap has different file extensions depending on the UNIX operating system you have selected:

  8. Apply the UNIX chmod 777 command to these executables and shared libraries to allow them to run.

  9. Transfer the following files to the appropriate man page directory:

  10. Set FTP to text mode.

  11. Transfer GENERIC.INI to the UNIX server, in the same directory as the wsocksvr program.

  12. Verify that GENERIC.INI stayed in uppercase letters on the UNIX server.

  13. Close FTP.

The ECRTP executable for UNIX is installed in a separate process that is documented in Chapter 9, “Installing ECRTP for UNIX.”

After installing EC Gateway UNIX components, you can install and check the ODBC drivers.
