The OpenEdge Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Adapter supports two types of installations:
  • Standalone installation
  • Add as a product to the existing OpenEdge installation

Before installing the OpenEdge ESB Adapter, ensure that you have installed correct Java Development Kit (JDK) version on your system. For information about JDK requirements, see "Progress OpenEdge Adapters" in the OpenEdge 12 Platform Compatibility Guide.

To install the OpenEdge ESB Adapter or add it as a product to the existing OpenEdge installation on Windows, download the OpenEdge ESB Adapter software image from the Progress Download Center, and launch the interactive installation program. The software is provided in a ZIP fie. You must extract the contents of the ZIP file to your machine.

The Linux version of the OpenEdge ESB Adapter also offers an interactive installation utility. The software download is provided in a TAR (.tar.gz) file. You need to extract its contents to your system.

Note that during installation, you can optionally capture a response.ini file. You can use the response.ini file to create a silent installation script, which automates the installation of the OpenEdge ESB adapter across a network.

Note: The Sonic ESB installer package includes the sonic .jar files by default.
