On distributed platforms, you install the IMS™ TM
resource adapter by extracting
the installation files from a compressed file to the correct location
for later deployment to the application server.
Procedure
Open the compressed file with an extraction tool and extract
the contents to a target installation directory. One
of the many options, some platform-dependent, for extracting the contents
of the installation archive is as follows:
tar -xvf icoxxxx.tar install_path
The
tar program is available as part of the operating system in UNIX and Linux variants. Versions of the tar program
are also available from a variety of sources as free software program
downloads. Note that some extraction tools are able to handle .tar
files as well as .zip files.
Results
Successful completion of the extraction places
the contents of the compressed file in the directories
install_path/IBM/IMS/ICOxxx/Vxxxx,
where
install_path is the target installation path
of your choice and V
xxxx is the version number
of the
IMS TM
resource adapter installation
compressed file that you downloaded. For example,
c:\Program
Files\IBM\IMS\ICOxxx\Vxxxx on Windows or
/opt/IBM/IMS/ICOxxx/Vxxxx for AIX®.
