You can add the OpenEdge Java Message Service (JMS) Adapter to an existing OpenEdge installation either interactively or silently.

To add an OpenEdge JMS Adapter to an existing OpenEdge installation, perform the following steps:

  1. Download the OpenEdge JMS Adapter from the Progress Download Center and launch its installation program.
    The Warning dialog box appears when the installation process detects an existing OpenEdge installation. It provides the location of the current OpenEdge installation and informs you that you can only add additional products in the same location.
  2. Click Yes to continue with the installation. The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next.
  3. In the Serial Number and Control Codes dialog box, enter the serial number and control number for the OpenEdge JMS Adapter and click Accept. Select OpenEdge JMS Adapter from the Product(s) to be installed section and click Next.
  4. In the Java Home Location dialog box, browse to the location on your system where the JDK is installed to specify the Java Home Directory. If your system already has JAVA_HOME set as a system or user variable, then the Java Home Directory is auto-populated. Click Next.
    Note: Ensure that you have the correct JDK version installed on your system. Otherwise, an error message is displayed, and you cannot proceed with the installation. For information about JDK requirements, see "Progress OpenEdge Adapters" in the OpenEdge 12 Platform Compatibility Guide.
  5. In the Choose Destination and Working Path Directories dialog box, specify the path to the OpenEdge installation working directory, if required. Click Next. The Information popup window appears, displaying the message that the product is installed over an existing OpenEdge installation, and the current installation creates a backup of the existing OpenEdge properties and stores it at a specific location. Click OK.
  6. In the Setup Type dialog box, select either Complete to install all the components of the OpenEdge JMS Adapter or Custom to install specific components of the OpenEdge JMS Adapter. Then, click Next.
  7. In the Language Choice dialog box, select English-American as a default language for the OpenEdge JMS Adapter error and informational messages and then Click Next.
    Note: You can select only English-American as a default language during the installation. The Supplemental Language Set provides an additional list of languages in which messages can be displayed. If you select a supplemental language and choose Available via Download, an informational message appears, which indicates that you can obtain these supplemental languages from the Progress Download Center to install after you complete the installation.
  8. In the International Settings dialog box, choose the settings for your character set, date, and number format in the OpenEdge JMS Adapter. Click Next.
  9. In the AdminServer Authorization Options dialog box, select the required option. You can select one option, both options, or no options. Click Next.
  10. In the Summary dialog box, review the options you have selected and click Next.
  11. In the Complete Setup Done dialog box, click Finish.
    The installation program adds the OpenEdge JMS adapter to your OpenEdge installation directory.
