Install a Perimeter Server in a more secure network in a Windows environment in interactive mode.

Before you begin

  • B2B Advanced Communications must be installed.
  • Complete the Perimeter Server information gathering checklist.

Procedure

  1. Close all open Windows programs.
  2. Copy the .jar installation files from the installation media to a Windows directory. If you are using FTP to copy the file, be sure that your session is set to binary mode.
  3. Complete the following steps:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. The Administrator: Command Prompt dialog box is displayed.
    3. Enter the following command: \path_to_java\java -jar \<path to PS server installable>\ps_filename.jar –interactive
  4. Enter the full path name for the Sterling B2B Integrator installation directory and press Enter. If there is an existing installation in the directory you specify, you can update it using the same settings. Enter yes, and the installation proceeds without more entries.
  5. Enter yes to confirm that the installation directory is correct. The program verifies the amount of available disk space.
  6. Answer Yes to the question: Is this server in a less secure network than the integration server?
  7. Answer the question: Will this server need to operate on specific network interfaces?
    1. Enter yes to select from a list network interfaces available.
    2. Enter no.
  8. Enter the TCP/IP address or DNS name that the integration server listens on for the connection from this Perimeter Server.
  9. Enter yes to confirm the TCP/IP address or DNS name.
  10. Enter the port that the integration server listens on for the connection from this server. The port number must be higher than 1024.
  11. Enter the local port number that the Perimeter Server uses for the connection to the integration server. The port number must be higher than 1024. Specify a port of zero for the operating system to select any unused port.
  12. Enter yes to confirm the port number.
    After the installation is complete, the following messages are displayed:
    • Installation of Perimeter Service is finished.
    • To start this Perimeter Server change to the install directory and run the startup script.
    • You will also need to configure this server in your integration server (Sterling B2B Integrator) UI.
