If you want to update an existing Bridge BRIDGE installation, please refer to Updating a Bridge. |
...
Install the BRIDGE program files (see detailed guide below).
Each installation routine requires adminstration rights on the system in order to install the BRIDGE.Check if the installation was successful (see Checking the Installation).
Install a licensing file (see Installing a Bridge License Key).
Starting the Installer
Open a Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
Note icon false Since Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2, you need administration rights on your machine to install programs. In this case, open the Command Processor using the Run as administrator option.
- Navigate to the folder you downloaded the installer to.
Start the BRIDGE installer with the command
<path to your java installation>\java -jar BridgeInstaller-win32-64-7.x.x.jarand proceed with The Bridge Installation Process.Note icon false Multiexcerpt include MultiExcerptName java_version PageWithExcerpt BRIDGE Installation Using an Installer

Note that, if the selected data directory is not empty, the existing installation will be updated.
On systems that host multiple IP addresses one Bridge installation per IP address is possible. If you want to install an additional BRIDGE instance to an existing installation, enter a data directory that differs from your previous installation.

The BRIDGE runs as a Windows service named E2E Console <name of the system>". It is possible to run the Bridge Windows service with a dedicated user or the local system account. We recommend using a dedicated user. The local system account of Windows may suffer from certain limitations concerning memory allocation and the number of processes that can be started (see Windows Limitation on the Number of Startable Services). This dedicated user account at least needs enough rights to start another Windows service (as is the Proxy service). For more information on how to grant these rights, see How to Grant Users Rights to Manage Services (Start, Stop, Etc.). |

If you have chosen a user account, it must be already existing in the system. Enter the user id of a local user or a domain user. A domain user needs to be entered in form of DOMAIN\USERID. Enter its password twice.
Click Next. |

Check the default settings of both ports. We recommend accepting the default values, but if the default value does not fit to your environment, change it accordingly.
Make sure that the ports you choose are not yet assigned to other services on your system. Also, check that the ports are not blocked by a firewall.

The workstation mode is recommended, if you want to install the BRIDGE on a local system like a notebook or a workstation in order to work offline and no IP address is available. In this mode, the BRIDGE can only manage the local system.
In Workstation Mode, all hostnames are fixed to localhost and there is no ability to manage other node instances. A default domain called localhost is created during installation and is not alterable by the user. You cannot deploy xUML services to other node instances than localhost, even if defined differently in the component diagram of the UML model.
For more information on installation modes and BRIDGE domains see Installation Modes and Bridge Domain or refer to the BRIDGE User's Guide (sections Installation Modes and Bridge Domains).
There are two standard installation routines available:
- Guided installation with a GUI (see Guided Installation of the Bridge with GUI)
- GUI-less installation (see Gui-less Installation of the Bridge)
Check if the installation was successful (see Checking the Installation).
Install a licensing file (see Installing a Bridge License Key)

In Server Mode, the BRIDGE can manage multiple installations of itself on different systems, if the node instances are member of the same BRIDGE domain.
If this machine is to be the first node instance of a domain, enter the name of the new domain. If this machine is to be imported into an existing domain after the installation, leave the domain name field empty.
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
You can still create a new domain after installation, if you do not enter a domain name. |
Click Next.
...
...
Select an IP address for the installation listed on the dialog or enter another IP address.
On systems that host multiple IP addresses one Bridge installation per IP address is possible. However, if you are using dynamic IP addresses you can install only one Bridge instance.
- Select 0.0.0.0 if you have a dynamic IP address or want to install only one BRIDGE. The Runtime will then bind to all IPv6 (Runtime 2018.5), IPv4 and localhost addresses.
- If you want to install an additional BRIDGE instance to an existing installation, enter an IP address that differs from your previous installation.
Click Next.
...
...
As default, the hostname for this IP address is displayed. You can also choose an additional mapping defined on a DNS server for this IP address.
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
If an IP address is suggested, change it to a fully qualified domain name that is known on the system itself and in the network. |
Choose a hostname for this IP address and click Next.

This window displays a summary of all installation options.
If you wish to change them, click Back.
Otherwise, click Next to continue with the installation process.
