The installation of the JDBC Server components must be done
by a system administrator who has "root" capability
on the server host where the database resides. A temporary directory, /tmp/jdbc, is used to stage the installation scripts, and
product tar file.
The server components are distributed as a UNIX tape archive
(TAR) file, hpjdbc_XXX.tar, where XXX represents the release number of the product.
Once the tar file is copied into a staging directory, /tmp/jdbc, extract the installation shell script from the
tar file:
$ tar xf hpjdbc_XXX.tar install.sh
Run the installation script install.sh to perform the actual installation. The installation
script will create the necessary directories, /opt/allbase/jdbc, extract the server files, and the client archive
files packaged in three formats, and set up the JDBC monitor startup
scripts. Once the installation is complete, you may delete the tar
file and the installation script.
For a complete list of the files that are installed, please
refer to Appendix E “HP ALLBASE/SQL JDBC File Lists”
If existing files are found during the installation, they
are backed up by renaming them with a ".1" (dot one) suffix (any existing file
with the ".1" suffix is overwritten). This allows
the installer to manually revert to the previous installation, if
desired.
