Installing a BeanConnect resource adapter

You install the BeanConnect resource adapter using the JAR file BC$(versionL)_RA.jar.

This file contains the resources listed below:

• The RAR file $(versionL)_RA.rar containing the resource adapter classes for JCA 1.6. For information on using the RAR file see Overview.

• The file BeanConnectDev.jar for compiling the EJBs

• The directory config: log4j configuration files for resource adapter logging

• The directory Docs: Documents

• The directory encoding: Encoding example

• The directory JavaDoc: JavaDoc for the user API.

Installing a resource adapter in systems with a graphical user interface

In systems with a graphical user interface, proceed as follows:

1. In the relevant system, open a window for command entry, e.g. Shell or DOS prompt

2. Switch to the directory in which the JAR file is located

3. Unpack the JAR file using the command
   java -jar BC$(versionL)_RA.jar

4. Follow the instructions output by the graphical installation program and define the installation directory for the resource adapter

Installing a resource adapter in systems without a graphical user interface

The file RA-auto.xml is supplied to permit installation on systems without a graphical user interface. Proceed as follows:

1. Open the file RA-auto.xml with a text editor and enter the required installation path for the resource adapter in the <installpath> tag

2. In the relevant system, open a window for command entry, e.g. Shell or DOS prompt.

3. Switch to the directory in which the JAR file is located

4. Unpack the JAR file using the command
   java -jar BC$(versionL)_RA.jar RA-auto.xml

   This installs the resource adapter automatically. The files are unpacked in the current directory without modifying RA-auto.xml.
