Installing CA IDMS Server on Other Platforms

The CA IDMS Server JDBC driver can be installed on any platform by copying archive files from the CA IDMS Server CD, extracting the needed class or jar files, and setting the CLASSPATH environment variable to point to them. The CA IDMS Server CD contains the following archive files in the \java directory:

idmsjdbc.tar

Compiled class files, archived in jar files.

samples.tar

Sample Java source files, shell scripts, and input files.

Use the tar utility, or an equivalent such as pax, to extract the needed files on UNIX or Linux. On most platforms and Linux/386, the files can be copied directly from the \java directory on the CA IDMS Server CD. The tar files are supplied as a convenience, the individual jar files included in this directory can be copied directly, if desired.

The javadoc files are found in \doc\javadoc_idms.zip, and there is also a link in the HTML Bookshelf.
