To launch the OpenEdge ESB adapter, you must have administrator privileges on the machine where you are installing the OpenEdge ESB adapter. For information about planning your installation, see Before you Install.

To install the OpenEdge ESB adapter on your machine, complete the following steps:
  1. Close all applications.

    Running applications or tasks may interfere with the installation because they could use files that OpenEdge needs to complete the installation. Stop any processes that are running, and close any files that are located in the same directory where you want to install the OpenEdge ESB adapter.

  2. Double-click the setup.exe file.
  3. Read the information in the Welcome dialog box, verify that all the other applications are closed, and click Next.
  4. In the Serial Number and Control Codes dialog box, enter the serial number and control number for the OpenEdge ESB adapter and click Accept. Select OE Adap Sonic ESB from the Product(s) to be installed box and click Next.
  5. In the Java Home Location dialog box, click Browse, and find the location of the JDK installation for the Java Home Directory. Click Next.
    Note: Ensure that you have the correct JDK version installed. Otherwise, an error message is displayed, and you cannot proceed with the installation. For details about JDK requirements on each supported platform, see the OpenEdge 12 Platform Compatibility Guide.
  6. Specify the paths for the OpenEdge ESB adapter destination and working directories in the Choose Destination And Working Path Directories dialog box. Click Next.

    The working directory contains your OpenEdge database and application files, and is the directory where OpenEdge runs. The working directory cannot be same as the destination directory.

  7. In the Select Program Folder dialog box, specify the Windows program folder where the OpenEdge ESB adapter program icons will appear. Click Next.


  8. In the Sonic ESB Properties dialog box, enter the Sonic ESB properties and click Next.

    Enter the property values for Sonic ESB:

    1. Type a container name that is unique to the management broker, or accept the default host name that appears in the Container Name field.
    2. Accept the default value, Domain1, that appears in the Domain Name field, or type a new value that is associated with the value you entered for the container name.
    3. Accept the default value, tcp://localhost:2506, that appears in the Connection URL field, or enter a new value.
    4. Enter your administrator credentials.
    5. Specify the directory in which the Sonic ESB configuration files are to be stored.
