Installing on Linux

UNIX platformLinux platform Steps to follow to install the App Connect for Manufacturing on Linux® system.

Before you begin

  • Make sure to install IBM® App Connect Standard.
  • If ACE or IIB is installed in a non-default directory, ensure that there are no spaces in the installation path.
  • Make sure to install a supported database for App Connect for Manufacturing.
  • Extract the ACMfg_linux_amd64_2.0.0.8.tar.gz file to <DIST_DIR> by using the following command:
    tar -xzvf ACMfg_linux_amd64_2.0.0.8.tar.gz

Procedure

  1. Create a folder named IBM in /opt folder.
  2. Go to <DIST_DIR> where the installation media is extracted and run the following command:
    ./ACMfg_install.sh <ACE_install_directory>
    Where, <ACE_install_directory> is the directory in which App Connect Standard is installed. By default, it is /opt/IBM/ace-11.0.0.n.
  3. Add the following ACMfg properties with the jarsURL path set to the correct installation path in the node.conf.yaml file under ConnectorProviders header.

    The default location of the YAML file is: /var/mqsi/components/<node_name>

    ConnectorProviders:
      ACMfg:
        connectorClassName: 'com.ibm.industrypack.industryclient.connector.ICConnectorFactory'
        jarsURL: '/opt/IBM/ACMfg-2.0.0.8/runtime/amd64_linux_2'
        property1: 'trustCertificate=true'
    Note: If you are installing App Connect for Manufacturing by using a non-default path, you need to update the jarsURL property in node.conf.yaml file under the ConnectorProviders header.
  4. Accept the licenses at the prompt.
  5. Optional: To accept the licenses silently, run the following command:
    ./ACMfg_install.sh <ACE_install_directory> accept license silently 
    The following are the significant folders and files in the installation directory:
    • eclispe
    • license
    • readmes
    • runtime
    • swidtag
    • ACMfg_install.sh
    • ACMfg_uninstall.sh
    The following files are in the runtime/amd64_linux_2/setup folder:
    • ACMfgDB_CleanSchema.sql
    • ACMfgDB_Setup.sql
    • ACMfgDB_Setup_MSSQL.sql
    • ACMfg_Schemas.zip
    • ACMfgDB_CreateDBandUser.sql
    Open the /opt/IBM/ace-11.0.0.n/tools/links/com.ibm.broker.manufacturing.v2.link file to see the installed location of the App Connect for Manufacturing. The default location is,
    /opt/IBM/ACMfg-2.0.0.8.
