- Important Note for JBuilder Users
-
- Please exit JBuilder before continuing with the InterClient install.
- JBuilder must *not* be running in order for the InterClient
- Install to properly modify JBuilder INI settings.
- For information on configuring INI settings manually, see the
- file JBuilderNotes.txt after installation.

- Installation Note for Windows NT and 95/98
-
- If you have a previous release of InterClient installed on
- this machine, you MUST uninstall it before continuing.
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Uninstalling on Windows NT and 95/98
-
- Before uninstalling, you should first stop the InterServer
- service or application if it is running, and then remove the
- service using the InterServer Configuration Utility.
-
- When uninstalling on NT, use the add/remove program icon in
- the NT control panel. On Windows 95, there is an uninstall
- icon in the InterClient program group if InterServer was
- previously installed.
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Installation Options
-
- During installation you will be prompted to choose components
- to install. By default all of the following components are
- installed:
-
- InterClient
- The pure Java JDBC client library which communicates with
- a server-side InterServer.
- InterServer
- A remote access server for InterBase. This is a middleware
- service which acts as a proxy between InterClient and InterBase.
- The service is tailored for InterBase remote access via JDBC.
- Documentation
- HTML documentation for the all-Java InterClient JDBC driver.
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Distributed Jar Files
-
- interclient-core.jar
- The JDBC driver with only the default English text resources.
- No utilities included in the core jar.
- interclient-res.jar
- Locale-specific resource bundles.
- interclient-utils.jar
- Currently consists of the communications diagnostics utility.
- interclient.jar
- JDBC driver, all resources, and utilities.
-
- The Windows install automatically appends interclient.jar
- to your user's classpath. You must modify your classpath
- manually on Unix.
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Testing your Local Installation
-
- See the Troubleshooting section of the InterClient Help html for
- detailed instructions on testing your machine configuration for
- running InterClient applications using
-
- java interbase.interclient.utils.CommDiag
-
- and for instructions on testing your applet configuration using
-
- CommDiag.html
-
- __________________________________________________________________
- Software Expiration
-
- This release of InterClient will expire, but continue to
- function, on December 30, 2000.
-
- Expired product releases of InterClient accept connections,
- but the connection is tagged with an ExpiredDriverWarning.
- Expired beta releases of InterClient may throw an
- ExpiredDriverException and refuse connections.
-
- Upon expiration, it is suggested that you upgrade both InterClient
- and InterServer driver components by downloading a recent release
- from http://www.interbase.com.

- Installation Note for Solaris and HP-UX
-
- After the download files have been extracted using the tar
- command (tar -xvf InterClient.tar), a directory is created
- named interclient_install_temp_dir containing the following files:
-
- install.sh : the installation program
- interclient.tar : components to be extracted by install.sh
-
- The installation process creates a log file of the installation
- session. It is important to retain the log file in the
- installation directory.
- - It contains the configuration information specific to your
- site necessary to complete the installation.
- - It contains a log of your installation choices. It will be
- required should you require technical support.
-
- The following entry must occur in the /etc/services file or
- the NIS services map:
-
- interserver 3060/tcp
-
- An entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file is also required:
-
- interserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/interclient/bin/interserver interserver
-
- After adding these entries, either reboot the system or restart the
- inet daemon. To restart the inet daemon, use the ps command to
- discover the process id of the inetd process:
-
- ps -e | grep inetd
- or
- ps -ax | grep inetd
-
- The number in the output column 'PID' is the process id of the inet
- daemon. Use the process id with the following command to restart the
- inet daemon:
-
- kill -HUP <PID>
-
- After installing, be sure to add /usr/interclient/interclient.jar
- to your CLASSPATH.
