Before installing

Before installing RepConnector:

Verify that you have enough disk space for InstallShield to create the RepConnector directory structure. Check the requirements in Table 2-1.
Review the environment variables that are used by the RepConnector installation. See “Reviewing environment variables” for more information.
Install and start the application server before you install RepConnector:
- If you are using EAServer, install and start both EAServer and Jaguar Manager. See the EAServer Installation and Configuration Guide.
- If you are using WebLogic, install and start both WebLogic and the WebLogic Server Console. 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 this message:
```
Accepting Connections
```
- When WebLogic is ready, the server console displays this message:
```
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 to the PATH environment as follows:
- In the UNIX sh environment:
```
PATH=.:$PATH
export PATH
```
- In the UNIX csh, tcsh environments:
```
setenv PATH .:$PATH
```
