Installing Databridge on Windows

Use this procedure to install or upgrade the following Databridge products:

  • Databridge Client

  • Databridge Client Console

  • Databridge Enterprise Server

  • Databridge Cluster Aware Service for Windows Clients

Before you install

The installer gives you the option to secure the Databridge Client working directory A directory structure that is required for the Client to run. This global working directory contains scripts, logs, lock files and configuration files. Each configured data source has its own working directory within the global working directory. . The Enable File Security option appears after Databridge Client is successfully installed (step 5 of this procedure). When this option is selected, you can assign access rights to user IDs and groups. File security for Databridge Enterprise Server is automatically enabled during installation. For more information, see Security Guidelines.

If the default location of the Enterprise Server configuration directory in this release is different from what you currently use, you can specify your current configuration directory during the upgrade process or import your configuration files after you upgrade (in Enterprise Server using the import button).

To install Databridge

NOTE:If you're installing on Windows Server 2012 R2 or newer in CORE mode, you must reboot with CORE mode disabled before installing Databridge.

  1. Log on using a Windows account with administrator privileges.

  2. To start the installer, do one of the following:

    • From the Windows64 subdirectory on the release media choose the setup.exe file.

    • From the download site, click the Windows download link, select a location for the installer files, and then click <Next>.

  3. In the Installer wizard, accept the license agreement and click <Continue>.

  4. In the tabbed window, make your selections and then click <Install Now>:

    User Information tab

    Personalize your install, if desired.

    File Location tab

    Specify a location for the Databridge program files (or accept the default). This path is saved as the INSTALLDIR string value for the Windows registry key.

    Feature Selection tab

    Click the Databridge component(s) you want to install and choose Feature will be installed on local hard drive from the popup menu. (Items with a red "x" won't be installed.)

    Follow the same procedure if you choose the option to install Japanese Support Select this option to install translation for double-byte EBCDIC to Code Page 932. and Localization Select this option to install a dynamic link library (DBUI.dll), which contains the interface and message text for Enterprise Server.

    Install to this PC

    Installs the selected Databridge components to your computer.

     

    Create an Administrative Install image on a server

    NOTE:An administrative installation does not actually install the product. Instead, it creates an installation image that you can use to deploy Databridge users.

    When you create an administrative installation image, an image of Databridge is copied to a network location for later installation to multiple workstations. This network location can be used by deployment tools to access and create packages that are deployed to workstations. Also, end users can perform installations by running setup.exe from this location.

     

    Log file settings

    By default an installation log file is created, but this file is deleted if the installation succeeds. (This configuration avoids accumulation of large log files after successful installations.) To save a log file for all installations, including successful ones, click Create a log file for this installation, and uncheck Delete log file if install succeeds.

    The installation log file, which provides details about the installation, is saved in the user's temp directory (%tmp%) with a generated name that begins with atm. To open this folder, click the Start menu, type Run in the Search field, click Run to open the Run command window, type %tmp%, and hit enter.

  5. Click the Install Now button to launch the installer.

    When the installer finishes the message “Installation completed successfully” will appear in a dialog box that has a Close button. When you click Close the installer launches a program that performs additional configuration for the Client and Enterprise Server, when either the Databridge Client or Databridge Enterprise Server is selected in the Feature Selection tab of the installer.

  6. Complete the various configuration tasks in these dialogs that are described in the next section.

  7. After installation is complete, see the Getting Started section of this guide.
