Installing a perimeter server in a less secure network

Complete the following steps to install the perimeter server in an interactive mode.

1. Copy the .jar installation files from the installation media to a directory on your server.
   Note: If you are using FTP to copy the file, make sure that your session is set to binary mode.
2. Run the following command:
   • For Windows: Run Command Prompt as an administrator and then run the following command.

     \<path_to_java>\java -jar \<install_dir>\packages\<ps_filename>.jar –interactive

   • For Unix/Linux:

     /<path_to_java>/java -jar /<install_dir>/packages/<ps_filename>.jar –interactive

3. Enter the full path of the perimeter server installation directory.
4. If there is an existing installation in the directory you specify, you can update it by using the same settings. Answer the question:

   There is an existing install at that location, update it while keeping existing settings?

   If yes, the installation proceeds without more entries.

   Note: If you want to change any of the settings, you must use a new directory, or delete the old installation before you reinstall the perimeter server. You cannot overwrite an existing installation, and you cannot use an existing directory that does not contain a valid installation. The existing installation must be Sterling B2B Integrator V5.2.x or later.
5. Confirm that the installation directory is correct.

   The program verifies the amount of available disk space.

6. Answer the question:

   Is this server in a less secure network than the integration server?

   yes

7. Answer the question:

   Will this server need to operate on specific network interfaces?

   If yes, the program returns a list of the network interfaces available on your host. Select the interfaces for the server to use.

8. Enter the TCP/IP address or DNS name for the internal interface to use to communicate with the integration server (Sterling B2B Integrator). Press Enter to use a wildcard for this address.
9. Verify the TCP/IP address or DNS name for the internal interface.
10. Enter the TCP/IP address or DNS name for the external interface to use to communicate with trading partners. Press Enter to use a wildcard for this address.
11. Verify the TCP/IP address or DNS name for the external interface.
12. Enter the port that the perimeter server listens on for the connection from the integration server (Sterling B2B Integrator). The port number must be higher than 1024.
13. Verify the port.

    When the perimeter server is installed, the following message is displayed:

    Installation of Perimeter Service is finished

14. Change to the installation directory.
15. Enter the following command to start the perimeter server:
    • For Windows: startupPs.cmd
    • For Unix/Linux: ./startupPs.sh
