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.
During installation, you are asked to enter the license keys:
If you specify a valid basic license key then the basic functionality of openFT will be enabled (openFT protocol, FTADM protocol and FTAC functionality). The optional license keys for the FTAM and FTP protocols are then queried. If you enter a valid license key for an optional protocol then this protocol is also enabled. You can skip this dialog box if you do not possess a valid key for FTP or FTAM.
If you enter a valid license key for a special version (e.g. CL or FTAM-CL version) then you will not be asked to enter a license key for FTAM and/or FTP because the supported function scope is already present in the special version.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!
Following installation, you can enter openFT license keys at any time using the openFT Explorer (Administration - License Administration) or the ftaddlic command.
The identification (ftmodo -id=) are set automatically during initial installation. You should check that these values are correct.
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.
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”. The instance-specific files are located in the directory
%ProgramData%\Fujitsu Technology Solutions\openFT\var\std.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.
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”).
The openFT service and the asynchronous openFT server are started.
