Instructions to install for SAP jConnect in GUI Mode.
Note: The setup program is located in the Disk1/InstData directory on
the SAP jConnect CD. Change to this location or add the directory to the installation
command.
Prerequisite
For Microsoft Windows, ensure that your login ID has administrative privileges. For UNIX, ensure
that your login ID has write-access to the install directory.
Start the installer.
For Microsoft Windows: If you are installing from the CD, the installer
should start automatically. If it does not, or if you are installing from a
downloaded file, select Start > Run, and enter:
x:\path\setup.exe
where
setup.exe is the executable file that installs SAP
jConnect, and x:\path\ is the path to
setup.exe.
For IBM AIX, Linux, and
Solaris:
cd /cdrom/cdromn/pathname
./setup.bin
For HP HP-UX:
cd /cdrom/pathname
./setup.bin
where
cdrom/cdromn is the directory (mount-point) you specified
when mounting the CD drive. For example, on Solaris the mount-point can be
cdrom/cdrom0 and setup.bin is the
executable file that installs jConnect.
If JDK_or_JRE_installation_directory/bin is not defined in the
PATH environment variable, call setup.exe (Microsoft Windows)
or setup.bin (UNIX platforms) using the LAX_VM java_binary_path argument. For example:
If the installation directory does not exist, the installer
prompts:
The directory directory_name does not exist. Do
you want to create it?
Click
Yes.
If the installation directory contains SDK for SAP ASE products, the
installer
prompts:
Warning: You have chosen to install into an
existing directory. If you proceed with this
installation, any older versions of the products
you choose to install that are detected in this

If
you continue and the older products were installed with jConnect, the installer
overwrites the common files.
