Installing Java CAPS Components Using the Java CAPS Uploader

Use the Java CAPS Uploader to install additional Java CAPS components that require a Repository. These components include all SAR files that were not installed using the Java CAPS Installer or the NetBeans IDE Update Center. The Uploader also enables you to download and extract ZIP files.

The Enterprise Manager SVG Plugin for win32 is required when you use Internet Explorer and you want to have the Connectivity Map capable of zooming in and zooming out. If you use Internet Explorer and do not install the SVG plugin, Enterprise Manager uses the JavaScript language to display the Connectivity Map instead of SVG. When this happens, you will not have zoom-in and zoom-out capabilities. The Enterprise Manager SVG Plugin for win32 is located under Auxiliary in the Java CAPS Uploader. Firefox has a built-in SVG and does not require the plugin.

Note - Certain adapters require additional installation procedures. For details, see Installing Third-Party JAR Files.

To Install Java CAPS Components Using the Java CAPS Uploader

Before You Begin

This task assumes that you have installed the Repository using the Java CAPS Installer and that the Java CAPS Uploader is running. The Java CAPS Uploader installs non-JBI based Java CAPS components that require a Repository.

Tip - Once the Java CAPS Uploader is running, the HELP tab opens the “Installing Java CAPS Components Using the Java CAPS Uploader” topic and the Documentation tab opens the Sun Java CAPS Documentation tab on the SDN web site.

1. To start the Repository, navigate to the base directory where you installed Java CAPS, and start the appropriate executable file.
2. In a browser window, go to http://host-name:port-number, where:

   • hos-nname is the TCP/IP host name of the server where you installed the Repository and not the name of the Repository itself.

   • port-number is the port number that you specified during the installation of the Repository.

3. To log in to the Java CAPS Uploader, type your username and password.

   Note - The defaults are “admin” for username and “adminadmin” for password.

   The Java CAPS Uploader starts, listing components you have already installed.

4. To install additional Java CAPS components, select Click to Install Additional Products.
5. Under Select Java Composite Application Platform Suite Products to Install, open a Product Name category such as Core Product or OTD.
6. Make your selections by selecting the box to the left of the component, and, when ready, click Next.

   Note - “eGate” and “eWay” are pre-Release 6 terms. To see their current equivalents, refer to Planning for Java CAPS Installation.

7. In the Selecting Files to Install dialog box, navigate to the appropriate SAR file, select it, and click Next.

   For information about the location of the SAR files, see Planning for Java CAPS Installation.

   Note - If you decide you do not want to upload a particular component, click Skip to move on to the next component. However, sometimes you cannot skip an upload due to dependencies.

   Repeat this step until you have selected all the SAR files.

   The Java CAPS Uploader uploads the selected components to the Repository.

To Download and Expand ZIP Files Using the Java CAPS Uploader

Some Java CAPS components are delivered as ZIP files. When you copy the Java CAPS executable file to your installation directory, these ZIP files become available under the Downloads tab in the Java CAPS Uploader.

Note - See Installing Plugins Using Enterprise Manager Web Applications Manager for information about how to install adapter plugins and some of the other plugins listed under the Downloads tab.

Before You Begin

This task assumes that the Repository is running and that you have started the Java CAPS Uploader.

1. From the Java CAPS Uploader, click the Downloads tab.

   A list of components that are available to download from the Repository appear.

   Note - This example downloads the Command Line Codegen.

2. In the list of components to download, select a component to download and extract, such as CommandLineCodegen.
3. On the File Download page, select Open to extract commandlinecodegen.zip.

   The ZIP file opens in an extraction program, such as WinZip.

4. Extract all the files to the target directory.

   In this example, you might extract the files to InstallDirectory\repository, where the InstallDirectory is the directory where you installed Java CAPS.
