When you install EAServer, features are installed by default depending on the type of installation you select. The types of installations are:
Typical – installs the typical files required for developing EAServer applications. If you choose this option, the client runtime files are installed on your machine in the easclient.jar file.
Client Runtime Only – installs only the client runtime files. Select this option to run Java or C++ client applications or to use SSL connectivity from PowerBuilder clients, but not install the entire product set.
You are not required to install the client runtime if you are developing clients on a machine where the application server is installed. The server installation includes the core server files.
Full – installs all features.
Custom – you define which features to install. By default, features that are installed as part of a typical installation are installed as part of a custom installation, but you can add or remove features.
If you customize your installation, be aware of the following:
JDK 1.3 – EAServer Manager, jagtool, jagant, JAAS, and the J2EE Application Client require JDK 1.3 which is installed automatically. If you select this option you have the choice of installing it, or using an existing JDK1.3 installation.
C++ runtime files – SSL support requires C++ runtime libraries.
Client runtime files – to run Java and C++ client applications, or to use SSL connectivity from PowerBuilder clients, you must install the EAServer client runtime files.
When you select to install the server, you must also install the C++, Java, and SSL runtimes.
Table 1-2 describes EAServer features and lists the features that are installed for each type of installation. Any feature can be optionally installed if you select the Custom installation type, and a Full installation installs everything.
