If you have not yet installed any version of openFT on your computer or if a version < V11.0 is installed, the installation is a new installation.
Tasks required of the system administrator
If openFT version 10.0 and possibly add-on products are already installed, then you should proceed as follows:
Save admission profiles and admission sets that are still needed in an external file using ftexpe.
Save the partner list entries using ftshwptn in an external file and - if necessary - the openFT operating parameter settings using ftshwo.
Uninstall openFT-CR, openFT and the add-on products.
Install the openFT V12.1 product software.
When doing this, please note the following:
As of openFT version V12.1C30, openFT license keys (one for the openFT protocol and optionally one each for the FTAM and FTP protocol) can be entered at any time after installation using the openFT Explorer (Administration - License management) or the ftaddlic command.
If you do not enter a license key then openFT runs with full functionality as a demo version for 30 days. This demo version may only be used for evaluation purposes!Import the saved configuration data as follows, if necessary:
Import the saved admission sets and admission profiles using ftimpe. If the admission sets and admission profiles were exported from an openFT version < V8.1 then all security levels in the admission sets that were previously set at 1 are automatically converted to 90. The standard admission set is re-set.
Import the saved partner list entries and operating parameter settings (if applicable) by executing the save file in the command prompt.
After these steps, openFT will be fully operational and will be activated at each system startup.
1 As of openFT version V12.1B10, the release is only for Linux x86_64. Since openFT version V12.1C20, Solaris (Sparc) is also included in the release again. Further platforms are available on request from your Fujitsu sales representative.
Steps performed automatically
During installation, the following steps are carried out automatically:
If CMX is installed then default TNS entries are generated for openFT if no TNS entries yet exist, otherwise they are adapted (see section “TNS entries created automatically”).
If CMX is subsequently installed then you can also use a tool to create default TNS entries at some later date, see section “Entering transport system applications in the TNS”.
The instance directory for the standard instance is set up, see section “Installation of openFT”.
In this case, the operating parameters (e.g. maximum number of requests that can be processed simultaneously, maximum block length, scope of FT and FTAC logging, setting of the CCS, port numbers for the asynchronous inbound servers) are set to default values, see also section “Checking the default settings”.
CMX operation, FTP server and the use of the TNS are deactivated.
The name of the processor is entered as the processor name (corresponds to the output in uname -n).
The DNS name of the computer (if one exists) is pre-set as the instance ID for the standard instance. When there is no DNS name, the name of the computer is used for the instance ID.
A standard admission set permitting all file transfer functions is created.
A key pair set is created (see section “Creating and administering local RSA key pairs”).
For openFT versions <= V12.1B (as of version V12.1C systemd is used):
The following startup and shutdown files are set up on the Linux, HP-UX and AIX platforms:The startup and shutdown file that applies to all instances
(e.g. /sbin/init.d/openFT auf HP-UX)The startup and shutdown file for the std instance
(path: /var/openFT/std/etcinit/openFTinst).
With the help of this file openFT is started automatically each time the system is started, and is terminated automatically each time the system is shut down (see also section“openFT instances and cluster operation”).
On the Solaris platform, SMF is supported as of openFT V12.0, see section “Solaris SMF”. As a result, no further startup or shutdown files are created.The man pages are installed as follows:
On the Solaris, AIX and HP platforms, the openFT man pages are installed in the same language as openFT as indicated by the LANG variable.
On Linux systems, the openFT German and English man pages are installed, i.e. users see the man pages in the language set for their login sessions (dependent on the LANG variable).
The file transfer is started (but not on HP systems).
The system searches for a suitable Java executable and this is notified to openFT. If no such system is found then you proceed as described in section “Installation of openFT”.
