Installing Utilities (Windows)

This document describes the hotfix installation procedure for the utilities (Windows).

Sun Java 2 JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required in order to install utilities because all Automation Engine utilities are programmed in Java.

You can start the utilities via the appropriate EXE or BAT file.

Supplied Files

The utility files (Windows) are stored in the directory IMAGE:UTILITY\WINDOWS.

*G.EXE - Java loader for the utility
*.EXE - Program for batch request
*.BAT - Batch file for utilities

Procedure

	1.	Installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

This installation step can be skipped if the required version of JRE is already installed.

Admin computer
Use the following command to check which version of the Java Virtual Machine (VM) is installed:

java -version

Ensure that the order of the indicated directories is correct in the settings of %PATH% or $PATH if several JRE or Java SDK Versions have been installed on the computer. The Java Runtime Environment that is found first in the listing of directories is applied.

Download the required Java Runtime Environment from http://java.sun.com and install it. The installation process includes the automatic installation of the Java Plug-in for Web browsers. It can be deactivated in the system control because AE does not require it.

	2.	Installing the utilities

Admin computer
Start the program SETUP.EXE in the directory IMAGE:UTILITY\WINDOWS. The utilities including the relevant INI files and the runtime system are written to the installation directory.

	3.	Adjusting the INI files and setting up the system environment

Admin computer
Data source AE must be set for ODBC access (ODBC32).
Adjust the utility's INI files if recommended in the current Release Notes. Refer to the INI files that are supplied with the update installation.

Each utility has only one INI file that includes the parameters. The INI file names are:

AE DB Archive (UCYBDBAR.ini)
AE DB Change (UCYBCHNG.INI)
AE DB Client Copy (UCYBDBCC.ini)
AE DB Load (UCYBDBLD.ini)
AE DB Reorg (UCYBDBRE.ini)
AE DB Unload (UCYBDBUN.ini)
AE.Reporting Tool (UCYBDBRT.INI)

The INI files have the same name as the appropriate utility
A security check (single logon) is made if the utilities AE DB Client Copy, AE DB Archive and AE DB Reorg are called in batch mode. The utility aborts if the target client of the AE system does not include a User object for the user who has logged on to the OS. Note that this happens regardless of any specifications that may have been made in the AE variable UC_USER_LOGON.
For example: The user Smith of the AE domain requires the User object SMITH/AE in the target client.
