You must save the downloaded installation files on the Windows server on which you are
installing Sterling B2B Integrator.
Before you begin
Consider the following points about the directories that are created for installation:
- Do not create the installation directory manually before the start of the installation. If you
create the installation directory before you begin, the installation will fail. The directory name
provided during the installation process is used to create the new installation directory.
- The server on which you are installing must have adequate free disk space.
- If you need to install more than one instance of Sterling B2B Integrator on the same Windows server,
you must install the second instance in a different directory.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to copy the installation files:
-
From the installation media, copy the compressed installation package to a location on your
application server desktop.
-
Decompress the installation package.
-
Open the InstallationManager folder in the directory structure that is
created when the installation package is decompressed.
Several IM_OperatingSystem.zip files are
displayed.
-
Decompress the IM_Win.zip file.
This action creates a new IM_Win folder.
-
Decompress the Common_Repo.zip from the installation
package.
The action creates two new folders
b2birepo and
gmrepo. The
IM_Win,
b2birepo, and
gmrepo folders must be at the same level in a directory.
Important: gmrepo contains the repository file required to install Global Mailbox. For
information about Global Mailbox, see
Global Mailbox overview.
