Chapter 2: Installation

Application server setup

Before you install RepConnector:

Verify that there is enough disk space to create the RepConnector directory structure. Check the requirements in Table 1-1.
Install and start the application server.
- For EAServer, see the EAServer Installation and Configuration Guide.
- For WebLogic, 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.
Make sure you have write permission to the BEA WebLogic installation directory.
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
```
If you are installing RepConnector on a BEA WebLogic application server, on an IBM AIX machine, edit the registry.xml file, which is in the $BEA_HOME directory, to include:
```
<java-installation JavaHome=PATH_TO_JAVA_HOME/>
```
where PATH_TO_JAVA_HOME is the path to your Java 1.5 installation directory.
If you are installing RepConnector on EAServer on an HP Itanium machine, edit the djc-setenv.sh file, which is in the EAServer/bin directory, to replace:
```
DJC_JVM_ARGS="$DJC_JVM_ARGS -d64 -XX:+UseLargePages"
```
with:
```
DJC_JVM_ARGS="$DJC_JVM_ARGS -d64"
```
Restart your application server for these changes to take effect.
