Install the Client Console on UNIX

For optimal performance, install the Client Console to a workstation connected to—not on—the relational database, or it will use valuable system resources. You can install and run the Client Console on AIX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows operating systems. For example, you can install and run it on a Windows workstation that is connected to UNIX, or run it on both types of workstations simultaneously. See In This Section.

NOTE:Use Databridge Client Console 6.6 with Databridge 6.6 software. It is incompatible with earlier Databridge versions.

To install the Client Console

Copy the *.tar.gz archives from the \Console\<UNIX> directory for the appropriate UNIX platform to the location you want.

There are two archives; one for the dbconfig and one for dbconsole.
Unzip the archives:
```
gzip –d dbcon*.gz
```
Extract each of the files from the tarballs by running the following separate commands:
```
tar –xvf dbconsole*.tar
tar –xvf dbconfig*.tar
```
This creates two directories (dbconsole and dbconfig) in the current working directory.
Next, provide execute privileges to the dbconfig file and to the dbconsole file:
```
chmod +x dbconsole/dbconsole
chmod +x dbconfig/dbconfig
```

After the Client Console is successfully installed, start the service (see Start and stop the daemon (UNIX)), and then Start the Client Console (UNIX).

If you don’t have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, you will need to install one before you can use the console. Note that you must have the correct type of JRE, one that matches the architecture of the console you install (32-bit or 64-bit). If needed, go to Oracle to download the appropriate files.
