Installing the EGL runtime code for Java

The EGL runtime code for generated Java™ applications is available in a zip file on the following Web site:

http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rad/60/redist

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:
Do as follows:
  1. 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.)
  2. Include the jar files in the classpath of the deployment machines.
  3. 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.
