Extracting the compressed file for installation on distributed platforms
On distributed platforms, you install the IMS™ TM resource adapter by extracting the installation files from a compressed file to the correct location for later deployment to the application server.
Procedure
Open the compressed file with an extraction tool and extract
the contents to a target installation directory.
One of the many options, some platform-dependent, for extracting the contents of the installation archive is as follows:
tar -xvf icoxxxx.tar install_path
The tar program is available as part of the operating system in UNIX and Linux variants. Versions of the tar program are also available from a variety of sources as free software program downloads. Note that some extraction tools are able to handle .tar files as well as .zip files.
