Select the path where the Bridge BRIDGE will be installed.

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 BRIDGE installation per IP address is possible. If you want to install an additional Bridge BRIDGE instance to an existing installation, enter a data directory that differs from your previous installation.

Click Next.

Select the path where the Bridge BRIDGE data like deployed services will be stored.

The E2E Bridge BRIDGE runs a background daemon for it's web-based user interface. It is possible to run the E2E Console service with the root user account or a dedicated user account.

Note

For security reasons we strongly recommend not to choose the root user account.
An installation with root log on will grant root permissions to all processes running on E2E Bridgethe BRIDGE.

The user account you choose must already exist on the system.

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.

Selecting the option Start E2E Bridge Service on system startup will automatically start the E2E Console daemon every time the system is booted. The service will allocate approximately 20 MB of memory.

Selecting the option Start E2E Bridge Service after installation will automatically start the E2E Console daemon upon finishing the installation.

The Bridge can be either a stand-alone system (Workstation Mode) or a domain member (Server Mode).

The workstation mode is recommended, if you want to install the E2E Bridge 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 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 deployment diagram of the UML model.

For more information on installation modes and Bridge BRIDGE domains see Installation Modes and E2E Server Domain or refer to the Bridge BRIDGE User's Guide (sections Installation Modes and Bridge Domains).

In Server Mode, the Bridge BRIDGE can manage multiple installations of itself on different systems, if the node instances are member of the same E2E Bridge 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
iconfalse

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 BRIDGE installation per IP address is possible. However, if you are using dynamic IP addresses you can install only one Bridge BRIDGE instance.

  • Select 0.0.0.0 if you have a dynamic IP address or want to install only one E2E BridgeBRIDGE. The Runtime will then bind to all IPv6 (Runtime 2018.5), IPv4 and localhost addresses.
  • If you want to install an additional Bridge 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 in the network.

Choose a hostname for this IP address and click Next.

Note

Upon completion of this installation, this node instance needs to be imported into an E2E Bridge a BRIDGE domain.
