- Installation Note for Windows NT and 95
-
- If you have a previous release of InterClient installed on
- this machine, you MUST uninstall it before continuing.
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Uninstalling on Windows NT and 95.
-
- Before uninstalling, you should first stop the InterServer
- service or application if it is running, and then remove the
- service using the InterServer Configuration Utility.
-
- When uninstalling on NT, use the add/remove program icon in
- the NT control panel. On Windows 95, there is an uninstall
- icon in the InterClient program group if InterServer was
- previously installed.
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Installation Note for Solaris and HP-UX
-
- After the download files have been extracted using the tar
- command (tar -xvf InterClientV10.tar), a directory will
- be created named interclient_install_temp_dir containing
- the following files.
-
- install.sh : the installation program
- interclient.tar : components to be extracted by install.sh
-
- The installation process creates a log file of the installation
- session. It is important to retain the log file in the
- installation directory.
- - It contains the configuration information specific to your
- site necessary to complete the installation.
- - It contains a log of your installation choices. It will be
- required should you require technical support.
-
- On both UNIX and 95/NT, the following entry must occur in the
- /etc/services file or the NIS services map:
-
- interserver 3060/tcp
-
- You must add this line manually.
-
- On both UNIX and 95/NT, the following entry must occur in the
- /etc/services file or the NIS services map:
-
- interserver 3060/tcp
-
- You must add this line manually.
-
- An entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file is also required:
-
- interserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/interclient/bin/interserver interserver
-
- You must add this line manually also.
-
- After adding these entries, either reboot the system or restart the
- inet daemon. To restart the inet daemon, use the ps command to
- discover the process id of the inetd process:
-
- ps -e | grep inetd
- or
- ps -ax | grep inetd
-
- The number in the output column 'PID' is the process id of the inet
- daemon. Use the process id with the following command to restart the
- inet daemon:
-
- kill -HUP <PID>
-
- After installing, be sure to add /usr/interclient/interclient.jar
- to your CLASSPATH.

- Installation Options
-
- During installation you will be prompted to choose one of the
- following.
-
- o Development Environment
-
- This selection installs the full development environment.
- - InterClient classes are installed for local JDBC development.
- - InterServer is installed for local or remote access to an InterBase
- server.
-
- o Development and Web Deploy Environment
-
- This selection installs the full development environment
- as above. In addition the InterClient classes and documentation
- are copied to the document root directory of your web server.
- - InterClient classes are installed for local JDBC development.
- - InterServer is installed for local or remote access to an InterBase
- server.
- - In addition, InterClient classes are copied to the
- document root directory of your Web server.
-
- o Deploy to Web Server Only
-
- This selection installs the InterClient classes and documentation
- only to the document root directory of your Web server.
- - InterServer is installed for use by local or remote clients.
- - InterClient classes are copied to the document root directory
- of the Web server.
-
- o Client Development Only
-
- This selection installs the InterClient classes and documentation
- on the local client for use in local Java application development
- against a remote server with a separately installed InterServer.
- - InterClient classes are installed for local development.
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Testing your Local Installation
-
- First, verify that the installation automatically appended your
- CLASSPATH with <install-dir>/interclient.jar.
-
- Second, on Windows NT/95, select the InterServer Configuration
- Utility icon in the InterClient program group and start the
- InterServer service or application (usually, but not necessarily,
- on your InterBase server). On Unix the interserver service is
- started automatically by inetd if your /etc/services and
- /etc/inetd.conf are configured properly.
-
- Finally, on Windows NT/95, select the Communication Diagnostics
- icon from the InterClient program group. If Java is installed
- on your local machine and interclient.jar is in your CLASSPATH,
- then a GUI will appear for making a test connection using the
- locally installed driver. Alternatively, and on Unix, you may
- invoke the Communiation Diagnostics Utility from the command line
- java interbase.interclient.utils.CommDiag
-
- Note: the instructions outlined above are not relevant for testing
- the deployment of InterClient applets from a web server.
- See Readme.txt for instructions on testing an applet configuration.
