The supported distributed platforms are AIX®, HP-UX, Linux® (Intel®), iSeries™, Solaris, and Windows® 2000/NT/XP.
(See product prerequisites for supported versions.) EGL provides 32- and 64-bit
support for AIX,
HP-UX, and Solaris.
The zip file you download from the previously mentioned Web site includes
the following:
- Jar files which contain Java code that is common to all supported
distributed platforms
- Platform-specific code
Do as follows:
- Extract the files in the EGLRuntimes directory to each machine on which
deployed EGL applications are to be run outside of a J2EE application server.
(These files are already included in any Enterprise Archive (EAR) file used
to deploy J2EE applications.)
- Include the jar files in the classpath of the deployment machines.
- Copy any platform-specific code to a directory on each deployment machine;
and set environment variables for each of those machines as appropriate:
- For AIX (32-
or 64-bit support)
- The files of interest are in the directory Aix or (for 64-bit support) Aix64.
Change the PATH and LIBPATH environment variables so they reference the directory
that contains the platform-specific code you copied from the Web site.
- For HP-UX (32- or 64-bit support)
- The files of interest are in the directory hpux or (for 64-bit
support) hpux64. Change the PATH and LIBPATH environment variables
so they reference the directory that contains the platform-specific code you
copied from the Web site.
- For iSeries
- The files of interest are in the directory Iseries. In qshell,
change to the directory you just uploaded the files to and run the setup.sh
script with the "install" option:
- > setup.sh install
- In addition, some other environment variables must be set. For information
on how to set these environment variables, run the script with the "envinfo"
option:
- > setup.sh envinfo
- If for some reason you delete a symlink that is created for you during
install, you can recreate it with the "link" option:
- > setup.sh link
- For Linux
- The files of interest are in the directory Linux. Change the PATH and LIBPATH
environment variables so they reference the directory that contains the platform-specific
code you copied from the Web site.
- For Solaris (32- or 64-bit support)
- The files of interest are in the directory Solaris or (for 64-bit
support) Solaris64. Change the PATH and LIBPATH environment variables
so they reference the directory that contains the platform-specific code you
copied from the Web site.
- For Windows 2000/NT/XP
- The files of interest are in the directory Win32. Change the PATH
environment variable so it references the directory that contains the platform-specific
code you copied from the Web site.
