Communications Suite InformationGet the Software to Install a Communications Suite Deployment
Download
To install a Communications Suite 6 Update 1 deployment, including the new Convergence client, download the necessary software from the Communications Suite 6 Update 1 Download Site.
This site also provides download links for the following dependent component products:
- Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 2 with High Availability Database (HADB)
- Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3
- Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 (to obtain Access Manager 7.1 and Web Server 7.0 software)
To obtain the proper versions, download the dependent component products directly from the Communications Suite 6 Update 1 Download Site. For more information about Communications Suite 6 Update 1 component product dependencies, see Requirements for Communications Suite 6 Update 1.
Download the JES 5 Update 1 distro to obtain Access Manager 7.1 and Web Server 7.0 software.
Notes and Caveats
 | Download the Application Server file directly from the Communications Suite download site. Do not install the version of Application Server bundled with JES 5 Update 1. That is an older version of Application Server. If you are installing the software from the Communications Suite DVD, do not use the Application Server bundled on the DVD. Go to the Communications Suite download site (noted above) to obtain the correct version of Application Server. To obtain a multi-language version of Application Server, go to the Application Server download site. (The Communications Suite download site does not provide a multi-language version.) |
| Download Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 (minimum) from the Communications Suite download site before you run the JES 5 Update 1 installer. Do not install the version of Directory Server bundled with JES 5 Update 1. That is an older version of Directory Server. If you already started with an older DSEE version, you can still get to the recommended DSEE 6.3. You must apply an upgrade patch as well as other patches to upgrade to DSEE 6.3. For example, if you obtained the native package format of DSEE on the Solaris 10 x86 or SPARC platform, you must start by installing the DSEE 6.2 version bundled with JES 5 Update 1, then upgrade to DSEE 6.3. You can instead take the easier path: Download and install the version of DSEE 6.3 directly from the Communications Suite download site. |
| If you are installing Access Manager 7.1 on a Linux system, you should verify that a compatible version of Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed. For details, see Verifying the Correct JDK Version to Support Access Manager. |
| The Communications Suite DVD does not contain the Sun JES 5 Update 1 distro or the Directory Server Enterprise Edition software. |
| To download Connector for Outlook or Communications Sync, choose Windows as the download platform on the download page. |
| The letters ml in the download file names signify "multilanguage." |

"commpkg upgrade" should work for upgrading most products from the Comms6 beta v..."commpkg upgrade" should work for upgrading most products from the Comms6 beta version to the Comms6 RR version.
Some products do not support commpkg upgrade, notably CE and Convergence at this time.

Thank's both for your answers, that's what i thought about the upgrade, well i guess we're going to move on the beta : our DSEE is 6.3 and i guess it'll be faster to upgrade CE & Convergence rather than upgrading all the messagning sytem : we're on a several hosts over two places and several master DSEE...
thank's again for your answers !!

about DSEE version: what is your recommendation for RHEL 4?
I realized that there are no native packages for DSEE 6.3 on RHEL, so I installed from zip.
Unfortunately there is no easy DSCC install and I could not find smcwebserver.
Would it be better to install DSEE 6.2 from JES 5u1 and upgrade/patch to DSEE 6.3?
What is the reason for the requirement of DSEE 6.3 for CS6?
Will Communications Express run with DSEE 6.2?
regards,
Matthias

Go to sunsolve.sun.com and get patch 125309 (latest rev is -07).
The patch contains the RPMs.
Aside: In reality, there are no "patches" on Linux unlike Solaris.
Thus a "linux" patch on sunsolve contains full RPMs.
DSEE 6.3 is recommended for CS6 because DSEE 6.2 is no longer available.
Communications Express does run with DSEE 6.2

The recommendation from the Directory Server team is to also run DS6.3 due to known issues with DS6.2:

DSCC installation is fairly straight-forward (and faster) from the ZIP installer e.g.
***************
=> download zip install version of Directory Server 6.3
=> expand download
=> as the root user:
mkdir dsee6; cd dsee6
gunzip -dc ../DSEE.6.3.Linux-X86-full.tar.gz | tar xf -
=> install product
cd DSEE_ZIP_Distribution
./dsee_deploy install -i /opt/sun/directory/
=> accept license
=> deploy directory server instance
mkdir -p /var/opt/sun/directory/
cd /opt/sun/directory/ds6/bin
./dsadm create /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
Directory Manager password: <directory manager password>
=> create base user/group suffix
./dsadm start /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
./dsconf create-suffix "<suffix>"
Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: <directory manager password>
***************
You would replace <directory manager password> with an appropriate password, and <suffix> with an appropriate value for your environment e.g. o=isp
The smcwebserver is actually part of the JES5u1 installer and should be installed if you select "All Shared Components".

Url's and pages where to download from such required components. It would be nice and clarifier some statements regarding the entitlements (RTU and support) the user have to use such separate licensed products for the purpose of Comms Suite.
