Before you install the modules, ensure that your environment
includes the software and hardware that is required to run AEM forms
on JEE. You should also understand the installation options and
have the environment prepared as required. For more information,
see the Preparing to Install (Singler Server or Server Cluster)
or Preparing to Upgrade guide. The complete AEM forms on JEE documentation
is available at
http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_aemforms_tutorials_61_en
AEM forms on JEE also provides a command line interface (CLI)
for the installation program. See
7 Appendix - Install Command Line Interface
for instructions on using
the CLI. There is also a CLI for Configuration Manager. See
8 Appendix - Configuration Manager Command Line Interface
. These CLIs are intended to
be used by advanced users of AEM forms on JEE, in server environments
that do not support the use of the graphical user interface of the
installation program or of Configuration Manager, or for users who
wish to implement batch (non-interactive) installation capabilities.
3.1.2 Checking the installer
Observe the following best practices with the installer
files before you begin the installation process.
Check the DVD installation media
Ensure
that the installation media that you received is not damaged. If
you copy the installation media contents to the hard disk of your
computer where you are installing AEM forms on JEE, ensure that
you copy the entire DVD contents on to the hard disk. To avoid installation
errors, do not copy the DVD install image to a directory path that
exceeds the Windows maximum path length limit and the path that
contains double-byte characters.
Install
AEM forms on JEE either by using a local copy of the installation
files or directly from the DVD. The installation could fail when
AEM forms on JEE is installed over the network. Also, do not use
special characters in the local path (for example, the character
‘#’).
Check the downloaded files
If you downloaded
the installer from the Adobe web site, verify the integrity of the
installer file using the MD5 checksum. Do one of the following to
calculate and compare the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file with
the checksum published on the Adobe download web page:
Linux:
Use the
md5sum
command
Solaris:
Use the
digest
command
Windows:
Use a tool such as WinMD5
AIX:
Use
the
md5sum
command
Expand the downloaded archive files
If
you downloaded the ESD from the Adobe web site, extract the entire aemforms_server_6_1_0_websphere_all_win.zip
(Windows) or aemforms_server_6_1_0_websphere_all_unix.tar.gz (AIX,
Linux, or Solaris) archive file to your computer. For non-windows,
use the
gunzip
command to extract the .gz file.
Note:
Be sure to keep the directory hierarchy unchanged
from the original ESD file.
