Installing EC Gateway for UNIX

Before you begin the installation, verify that you comply with the system requirements for EC Gateway for UNIX. EC Gateway for UNIX is a SySAM-enabled product and you must obtain licenses for your EC Gateway for UNIX components. See Chapter 1, “Before You Begin” for system requirements, pre-installation tasks, and instructions for deploying SySAM.

Install EC Gateway for UNIX on two computers. One computer supports the Windows platform and the other computer supports the UNIX operating system. You develop, set up, and maintain EC Gateway on the Windows platform, using a graphical user interface. A UNIX machine performs the runtime execution.

You must install four sets of products in separate installations:

  1. The EC Gateway runtime for Windows component of EC Gateway for UNIX.

  2. Distinct Corporation’s ActiveX controls for FTP communication on Windows.

  3. The EC Gateway runtime for UNIX portion of EC Gateway for UNIX.

  4. An ODBC driver.

    Sybase recommends that you use the DataDirect ODBC driver manager and drivers, whether Sybase-branded ones purchased from Sybase, or open ones purchased from DataDirect.

NoteThe user performing the installation must be logged in with administrative rights.
