The OpenEdge JMS installation program on UNIX or Linux machines present a series of dialog boxes in which you enter your choices in each dialog box and advance at your own pace. The specific controls you use to advance to the next dialog box or return to a previous dialog box are identified on each dialog box. Select a menu option using the TAB key or the keys that are mentioned in each selection on the dialog box.

You can access the online help according to the method identified on each dialog box. Scroll in the help window to view all of the dialog box details. For information about planning your installation, see Before you Install.

To install the OpenEdge JMS adapter on your UNIX 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 JMS adapter.

  2. Log in as root. If you do not know the root password for your machine, check with your system administrator.
  3. To start the installation, enter the following command:
    ./path/proinst
    Note: In the preceding command, path represents the directory that contains the downloaded JMS adapter software image. You cannot run proinst from either the directory where you downloaded the OpenEdge JMS adapter software image or from the target directory in which you are installing the OpenEdge JMS adapter.
  4. Read the information in the Welcome dialog box, verify that all the other applications are closed, and press ENTER.


  5. In the Product Configuration Data dialog box, enter the company name, serial number, and control number for the OpenEdge JMS adapter. When you finish entering the license information, press CTRL + E to continue.


  6. In the JavaHome Pathname dialog box, enter the the location of the JDK installation for the JavaHome and press ENTER.


    Note: Ensure that you have the correct JDK version installed. Otherwise, an error message is displayed, and you cannot proceed with the installation. For information about the JDK requirements on each supported platform, see the OpenEdge 12 Platform Compatibility Guide.
  7. In the Install Type and Destination dialog box, select one of the options, press TAB to highlight Continue with Installation, and then press ENTER.


    For custom installations, Progress recommends that you install all recommended products. If you do not install all the recommended products, then the products you chose to install may not function as expected.

    Specify the paths for the OpenEdge JMS adapter destination and working directories in the Destination pathname and Working Dir pathname,respectively.

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

    If the installation program prompts you to specify whether you want to select the SQL Server database engine to support queries written in SQL, then press the TAB key to highlight Continue with Install, and then press ENTER.

  9. In the Language Selection dialog box, select English - American as the language to be used for OpenEdge error and informational messages. Press the TAB key to highlight Make Default, and then press ENTER. Now, press the TAB key to highlight Continue with Installation, and then press ENTER.


    Note: You can select only English-American as a default language during the installation.
  10. In the International Settings dialog box, choose the settings for your character set, date, and number format in OpenEdge software. Details about the information required for this dialog box are available from online help. Press the TAB key to highlight Continue with Installation, and then press ENTER.


  11. In the Complete Installation dialog box, review the installation options that you chose. Press N to return to the previous dialog box to make any changes. If you are satisfied with your choices, then press Y.
