Pre-installation tasks

Before installing RepConnector:

Verify that there is enough disk space for InstallShield to create the RepConnector directory structure. Check the requirements in Table 2-1.
Install and start the application server.
- For EAServer, see the EAServer Installation and Configuration Guide.
- If you are using WebLogic, install and start the WebLogic application server. See the BEA documentation for WebLogic.
Verify that your application server is running and ready to accept connections.
- When EAServer is ready, the server console displays:
```
Accepting Connections
```
- When WebLogic is ready, the server console displays:
```
Server started in RUNNING mode
```
See your application server documentation for more information.
If you are installing on a UNIX machine, verify that your PATH environment variable includes “.” at the end of the definition so that applications look for executable files from the current directory.

If “.” is not included in the PATH environment variable, add it:
- In the UNIX sh environment:
```
PATH=.:$PATH
export PATH
```
- In the UNIX cshk and tcsh environments:
```
setenv PATH .:$PATH
```
