About the Installation

This topic provides an overview of the GUI and command-line installations, a list of what Java CAPS product names were in the past and what they are now, and the location of the product SAR files on the DVDs.

Caution - Java CAPS Release 6 does not support spaces in the installation directory path.

The installation process is different from prior installations of Java CAPS, and with Release 6 you can perform a complete or custom installation on any supported platform.

Note - There is one exception to this statement; Release 6 does not support Macintosh installation using the command-line interface.

The installation flexibility of Java CAPS enables you to:

• Install more than one Domain on a single system.

• Manage multiple Projects on a single environment.

  • The separation of design from deployment makes it possible to use the same components in more than one Project.

• Centralize your software distribution.

  • After uploading software into “software packages,” Administrators select which physical server or groups of physical servers receive the software.

  • HTTP connections are used to upload and download the software to and from the Repository.
