Installation Scenario - Install Communications Express |
h2. Assumptions |
...
This scenario shows how to install an instance of the Communications Express on a separate host or Solaris zone. It is based on the _Install Communications Express_ leaf in the [Communications Suite 6 Update 2 Installation Flowchart]. The scenario makes these assumptions:
* You are deploying Communications Suite on multiple hosts or Solaris zones.
* This Communications Express is one functional component of your multi-host deployment.
* The Communications Suite back-end servers (Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Instant Messaging) are installed on separate hosts or zones.
* If you are distributing multiple instances of the Communications Express across several hosts or zones, you can follow these instructions for each host on which you install the Communications Express.
h2. Which Software Components and Downloads Do You Need?
*Software Components:*
To successfully configure and run Communications Express on this host or Solaris zone, you need to install the following software components:
* Web container. Choose one of the following:
** Application Server 9.1 Update 1
** Web Server 7.0
* Communications Express 6.3
Note: Application Server 8.x and Web Server 6.x are also supported web containers. However, for a first-time installation, it is recommended that you use the latest versions of these web containers.
*Downloads:*
* Choose one of the following software downloads to obtain the web container software:
** Application Server 9.1 Update 1 with High Availability Database (HADB) - Zip/File Based
** Java ES 5 Update 1 distro: for Web Server 7.0 \\
\\
* Communications Suite: for Communications Express
These software files are available on the Communications Suite download site. For details, see [Get the Software].
h2. Which Task Sequence Do You Follow?
h4. Step 1. Install the Web Container
You can deploy Communications Express to any of these supported web containers:
* Application Server 9.1 Update 1
* Application Server 8.x
* Web Server 7.0
* Web Server 6.x
Note: The Communications Suite installer does not install Web Server or Application Server.
h6. To install Application Server 9.1 Update 1:
You can install Application Server 9.1 Update 1 by downloading the software from the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 SDK download site. (See the preceding section, _Which Software Components and Downloads Do You Need?_.)
For more information about installing Application Server, see the [_Application Server 9.1 Installation Guide_|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3670].
h6. To install Web Server 7.0:
# From the Identity Management Suite, launch the Java ES 5 Update 1 installer.
# With the Java ES installer, install Web Server 7.0 Update 1.\\
\\
To install Web Server, follow the instructions in the [_Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Update 1 Installation Guide for UNIX_|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2827].\\
h4. Step 2. Install Communications Express:
# To install Communications Express, follow these instructions: [Run the Communications Suite installer|Communications Suite 6 Update 2 Installation Guide#installcommssuite].\\
\\
# When the Comms Installer lists the components to install, choose the following components:\\

installer. *Caveat:* This patch will be available immediately after the Communications Suite 6 revenue release; it is not available on the day of the release. \\ |
\\
* To install the localization package as soon as the Communications Suite 6 release occurs, you must separately install the localization package from Communications Suite 5 release and then apply the latest patch. Follow the steps shown below. |
...
You must install the localization version of Communications Express 6.3 as a stand-alone package.
To install the localization package, perform the following steps:
# Download Sun Java Communications Suite 5 from [Get the Sun Java Communications Suite 5 Software|http://www.sun.com/software/communications_suite/get.xml].
# Unzip the downloaded bundle.
# Locate the localization package.
** Solaris platform: the localization package called {{SUNWuwc-l10n}} is available in the following directory:
{{../GA/sun_java_commsuite5/Solaris_sparc/Product/unified_web_client/Packages/}}
** Linux platform: the localization package called {{sun-uwc-l10n}} is available under Linux bits.
# Set the {{BASEDIR}} to the location where core CE components are installed.
By default, the core components are installed at {{/opt/sun/comms/ce}}.
# Create a temp response file as {{/tmp/response}} with the value of {{BASEDIR}} as mentioned below:
{{BASEDIR=/opt/sun/comms/ce}}
** To install the package in Solaris platform, run the following command:
{{pkgadd -r /tmp/response SUNWuwc-l10n}}
** To install the package in Linux platform, run the following command:
{{rpm -i --prefix /tmp/response _RPM name_}}
{{_RPM name_}} may be {{sun-uwc-l10n._version_.rpm}} or as it is in the downloaded Linux bits.
The localization contents of Communications Suite 5 will now be added along with core contents at the {{/opt/sun/comms/ce}} location.
# Apply the latest localization patch by downloading it from [SunSolve |http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access].
{info:title=Note:}
The localization patch depends on your platform : For Solaris SPARC and X86 platforms, use patch ID 126233-04. For Linux platform, use patch ID 126234-04.

h4. Step 3. Prepare to Configure Communications Express:
Before running the Communications Express configuration wizard, make sure you:
* Choose your schema. Refer to the section on [Schema Choices|Communications Express 6.3 Initial Configuration#ABZBI] for information on the available schema.
* Ensure that you have the following entry in the {{/etc/hosts}} file on your Solaris system:\\
\\ _ip-of system_ _Fully-Qualified-Hostname_\\
\\For example,\\
\\ {{129.158.230.64 budgie.siroe.varrius.com budgie}}
* Ensure that the following components are up and running before you configure Communications Express:
** Directory Server
** Application Server or Web Server
** Access Manager, if you intend Communications Express to participate in SSO (Single Sign-On) with other products
{info:title=Note}
The Web Server that is hosting Communications Express should be running as {{root}} when configuring for Remote AM SDK deployment.
{info}
** Messaging Server
** Calendar Server
** Verify whether users are able to log in to the following servers correctly:
** Messaging Server
** Calendar Server
** Access Manager, if you want Communications Express to participate in SSO with other products
h4. Step 4. Configure Communications Express:
# Use the following worksheet to gather configuration information for the Communications Express: [Communications Express 6.3 - Configuration Worksheet|Configuration Worksheets - Communications Express]\\
\\
# Start Web Server or Application Server.
# Run the Communications Express initial configuration program:\\
\\
{{# _INSTALLROOT_/ce/sbin/config-uwc}}\\
\\
# When you run the initial configuration program, specify the configuration values to connect to the back-end servers supported in your Communications Express deployment:\\
* To support the Communications Express mail component, configure values for the Webmail Server.\\
* To support the Communications Express calendar component, configure values for the Calendar Server. \\
