For the guided installation, X Window is required on your Linux system.
Allow connections to the X server and login as user root. Typically, use the following commands:
xhost + su root
Login as user root.
Change to the location, to which you copied the installation file. Start the installation by using the command:
<path of your java installation>/java -jar BridgeInstaller-linux-64-7.x.x.jar
After a few seconds, the BRIDGE Installer window opens. Click Next. | |
Select Register to SAP SLD if you want to register the BRIDGE to the System Landscape Directory of an SAP Installation. Click Next. | |
Please read the license information carefully and accept it. Click Next. | |
Select the path where the BRIDGE will be installed. Note that, if the selected data directory is not empty, the existing installation will be updated. Click Next. | |
Select the path where the BRIDGE data like deployed services will be stored. Note that, if the selected data directory is not empty, the existing installation will be updated. Click Next. | |
The 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. For security reasons we strongly recommend not to choose the root user account. 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. 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. | |
Enter a password that you will need to access the web-based user interface with user id admin. Retype the password and click Next. Maximal password length is 50 characters. | |
Enter a password for the E2E Console service. You will need this password when importing this node instance into a BRIDGE domain. Retype the password and click Next. Maximal password length is 50 characters. | |
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 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. For more information on installation modes and BRIDGE domains see Installation Modes and E2E Server Domain or refer to the BRIDGE User's Guide (sections Installation Modes and Bridge Domains). | |
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. 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.
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. 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. Upon completion of this installation, this node instance needs to be imported into a BRIDGE domain. | |
This window displays a summary of all installation options. If you wish to change them, click Back. | |
All necessary components of the BRIDGE will be installed. | |
The BRIDGE installation has finished. Click Finish. |
If you want to check the installation, continue with Checking the Installation.
