Installing RosettaNet

  • Verify that you have successfully installed the Sterling Gentran:Server® XML option and the HTTP Gateway option.
  • You must have Microsoft Internet Explorer and IIS installed on each machine before installing Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet.
  • Determine which database user logon you want the install program to use to access the Sterling Gentran:Server database.
    Notes:
    • This logon must have administrative rights to the database. You must use the database owner logon that was used to create the GentranDatabase.
    • This logon is used to build the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet database tables.
  • Install Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet only on the node that owns the cluster resources.
  • Ensure that failback is allowed and the node on which you are installing Sterling Gentran:Server is set to "Preferred Owner" in Cluster Administrator.
  • If you use Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet in a distributed environment, you should complete this installation procedure on the primary system controller first, followed by any secondary controllers, and then each user interface client machine.
Complete the following steps to install Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet on your system.
  1. On the installation splash screen, select Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet.
  2. If setup determines that there are Sterling Gentran:Server and/or IIS services running, click Yes to stop each currently executing service.

    Setup looks for installed components. If you have ever installed Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet components, you are prompted that the install has detected existing database tables that will be dropped.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • Click Yes if you have backed up your data and you want setup to overwrite the database tables.
    • Click No if you do not wish to overwrite your existing tables. Setup will exit.

    Setup displays the Microsoft Windows Logon dialog box.

  4. Type a Microsoft Windows user ID - preceded by either .\ (single workstation) or domain\ (distributed environment) - and password. Click Next.

    Setup displays the Application Database Access dialog box, which allows you to grant access to the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet database tables to a user or group of users that you have already set up with your database management program.

  5. To grant access to the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet database tables to a group of users, type the name of the group (such as GENTRANUSERS) and click Next.
    Note: If you do not enter a user or group of users, you are prompted that you may need to manually grant users access to the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet database tables.

    For a new install: Setup prompts you that it is now ready to install the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet and asks you if you want to proceed. Continue with step 7.

    For an upgrade: Setup displays the Program Folder Name dialog box.

  6. Accept the default program folder name and click Next.

    Setup displays a message stating that it is now ready to install the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet and asks if you want to proceed.

  7. Click Yes to begin installation.

    Setup creates the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet database tables in GentranDatabase, registers system translation objects, installs the user exit and implements it in the registry, loads other registry settings, and installs the Sterling Gentran:Server for RosettaNet programs in your GENSRVNT\Bin folder.

    After installation is complete, the system starts the RosettaNet service and asks you if you want to restart the services that it stopped (Sterling Gentran:Server services, IIS services, or both).

    • Click Yes if you want to restart services.
    • Click No if you will restart the services manually.

    For an upgrade: If setup detects a GENSRVNT\RosettaNet folder that contains 4.x sample data, maps, and tutorial data, you are prompted to delete it. If you click Yes, any data you have created in that folder will also be deleted. If you click No, setup does not delete that folder.

    Setup indicates installation is complete.

  8. Click OK.
  9. For a new install, do the following:
    1. If you are installing in a clustered environment, use the Cluster Administrator on the primary node to create a new resource RosettaNet Server PIP Monitor, which depends on the Mailbox Service. Continue with b. See Microsoft documentation for creating cluster resources.

      Otherwise, install the Options Pack on the other machines in your system.

    2. Using the Cluster Administrator on the primary node, move the Audit Notification service. This activity forces the replication of the registry (containing Sterling Gentran:Server entries) on the other nodes in the cluster.
      Note: The move will report that the services fail and this is not a problem because it still forces the registry keys to the other nodes
  10. For an upgrade, do the following:
    1. Create an outbound HTTP gateway mailbox for each URL to which you will send PIPs. See "Creating a RosettaNet Partner Definition" in the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Server for Microsoft Windows for RosettaNet User Guide for more information.
    2. Associate a trading partner relationship with each mailbox you just created. See "Creating the RosettaNet Mailbox for Each Outbound Trading Partner" in the IBM Sterling Gentran:Server for Microsoft Windows for RosettaNet User Guide for more information.
    3. If you created a Process Control event that uses the old Process Control PIP Monitor, you must remove the Process Control event after the upgrade. See the section on Process Control in the IBM Sterling Gentran:Server for Microsoft Windows for RosettaNet User Guide for more information.
